Hi.

It has been like this for a long time, and it's still very common that this message appears when try enter into SZ forums.
Not easy to access as usual anymore.
Known issues?

"UBB Message
We encountered a problem. The reason reported was
Database error only visible to forum administrators

Please click [ Back ] to return to the previous page."

Its an old website so can sometimes have problems.

If you get the error message, press the refresh button (F5) a few times and it will normally come up, if not try again later.

It appears to be a very difficult problem to fix. This is a very old BBS and unfortunately, software designers don't seem to have perfected backwards compatibility when updates come out.

The refresh trick sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Kerry is all too aware of the problem, but with the resources we have is finding it difficult to find a permanent solution.

Thanks for the info.
I'm familiar to the refresh 'trick', but as said here, sometimes it works, and sometimes not.

Yes, the forum grows old, and so do many of us members.

I asume a part of the difficulties to find an other updated solution may be regarded to financial matters as well as there is a lot of work to maintain and keep the forums running?

I have to admit that it has been a while since I pressed the PayPal Donation button. maybe time to see if it still works.....

I am in
