SC4D forums down?

[Wiimeiser 444]

Not entirely sure where this is supposed to go, but SC4 Devotion appears to be down, it's giving me a database error. LEX works fine. Is anyone else getting this or just me?

The forums are indeed down right now.  I don't know much more as to what all is happening, but database errors are generally above my paygrade.  I suspect it's already being silently worked on behind the scenes, so all I can do at this point is advise patience.

Technically I'd say in Community Goings-on which is in General Off-Topic.

However, whilst they are having trouble I believe here in SC4 General Discussion where you've posted it is prolly better as more peeps will see it.

Thanks for the update Tarkus.  It's bad news, but it's better to know than not know.

The SC4D website is now back up and running.

Yay!

As such I'll whisk this topic over to the other forum now.

Seems like a critical database error...

Yeah it seems to work for maybe a few hours a day lately, very unfortunate, hopefully they can fix it.

As noted by @Tarkus, their site is experiencing technical difficulties. See his post here saying:

I'm not entirely sure what is going on technically at the moment, but the databases on both the forums on the LEX are going completely haywire.  There's been some issues on that end for awhile, which have been starting to flare up considerably of late.  These sorts of database issues are not something that I can address on my end, either.

On top of it all, there are some additional logistical complications going on behind the scenes, which significantly impact any efforts to address ongoing technical issues at this time.  Given that, I would expect that the constant cycle of uptime/downtime and login issues will unfortunately continue for awhile.

Not that anyone has done anything wrong, but I'm closing this thread so it can all be consolidated into one thread.

As there have been a few topics pop up hither and yon on Simtropolis, we are asking everyone to use the dedicated SC4 Devotion: Official Advice and Site Information Thread for any comments.
