The really weird thing is that I tried editing the first post immediately after I made the thread and I got this error page. But I noticed now that the editing was done.

Edit attempt, after clearing cookies and restarting.

It happened again.

I edited the above post to add the last line. The line was added, but I still got that page.

Tired of ads?

Been having looong lags on making changes too. Leading to the 'problem with database' message. Usually refresh works at this point for me, however not today. The changes do get posted though, same as Eli noted.

Increase Your PM Length

Eli, the fact that you're an Emperor means you must have edited hundreds of posts before. So they problem must lie with your cimputer rather than Poly. Rather than just clearing your cookies, actually clear your Internet History files as well. Also, have you recently changed the settings on your firewall?

It often does what you're saying (claims there's a problem with the database, or something) but then manages to make the edit anyway. Does it off and on. I usually just hit the back button a few times and refresh...

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I edited my message twice, once to say that the edit worked (and it ended up giving me that error).
A second time to say it stuffed up for me. Of course, this edit worked fine.

No idea, Eli, don't you get a message like

There has been a slight problem with the database...


If not, I don't have much of an idea.

And an edit...

I get the other kind (database, please contact technical staff)...

That one doesn't seem as critical

Might it just be that Poly was overloaded when you attempted the edit?

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I think those are variations on the same server problem, KH and Eli. Eli - if you look a little further down the message page, does it say that you're getting Error 500? If so, then you just need to refresh and resubmit your info. An Error 500 is on the server side, not the client.
