If I understand correctly, it happens any time the site tries to make a connection to the database. Which means that sometimes it's when you try to pull posts to read, sometimes when you try to post, and sometimes when the site is trying to load thread information.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

As long as we're not hurting anything (i.e. frelling up the indexes to the tables) by getting these errors, it's safe to continue using the board?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm wondering the same thing as Theodosia...
Getting errors, reloading once or twice helps. But it also triples the hits.
Stompies?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cass, I don't think it's much of a muchness.
Here's some bafflment so far.
This graph shows the request pattern in the morning when DX and Fred Pete got their errors (8:17, board time). The next error doesn't pop up until 11:47 (Heather).
As you can see -- not an extreme amount of traffic. I'll go peek into exactly what sort of traffic it was then.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Huh.

Huh. 168 requests at 9:58 and no errors...
Thanks ita.
eta: odd. errors almost everytime but refreshing brings the page right up.
And x-post with DX.

Strange -- I just got like, ten clicks of "new" or "next" without any errors, and then errored out like three times in a row. Whatever was happening went away for a little bit, and then was back.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I'm getting the occasional partial error, too - for instance, last time I hit Read New it gave me the entire message center except for the right-hand column (with COMM, etc.) Instead of that column, I got the fatal error message.

I'm getting errors from Message Center, as well, not just from posting.

I've noticed lately when I get the error, that when I try the link again, there's a new post there. I wonder if we're bumping into each other, or something? If that makes no sense, feel free to ignore me - I'm not programming literate.
eta As just happened. 'Suela's post wasn't there when I started this post.
