For about 10 minutes, starting around 11:50PM (east coast time), I kept getting this message:

DNS lookup error

and when I tried logging on from my smart phone, it told me the page couldn't be found.

It looks to be all better now, though.

I've been getting database errors, just for certain threads. Most threads come up fine but there are a couple of them I've been trying to read for the last 15 minutes and I get "web address could not be found".

This is exactly what I've been receiving for about the last half hour. Can't change pages, sometimes I can't quote a post. As a matter of fact, I couldn't reach the last page of this thread to see the most recent posts. I'd try to come back to see if there are any replies, but I don't know if I can get there.

I've been getting them in any forum I post to regularly. Usually happens when I go to the last page or post in a thread that has many pages on it. I sent an e-mail to the webmaster. I'll just try again later today. This is the first time I've encountered this in the 5 years I've been a member of this forum!

Yac.
I'm trying to post but I get the database error message when I try to go from page 3 to page 4 so I can't see the most recent posts. I've been getting these messages for about the last half hour in many different forums. I get it when I try to change pages also.

I don't know if this post will go through. I can quote a post but I get the error message when I click on submit.

Our hosting provider is having issues today. We're not sure if they are completely resolved yet.

I'm getting a lot of "Database Error"s today, like when I click on most articles in "Work and Unemployment."
