Title: Cannot edit posts (solved)
Post by: Pick Yer Poison on June 26, 2009, 22:31:29
A little while ago, in a thread I'm involved in, I needed to modify my post to change a link to point to a more recent version of my program. When I finished quick editing my post, it gave me the green loading bar at the top of the screen (the one it gives before it finishes). It was still there after a few minutes, so I went off to get something to eat. When I came 20 minutes later, it was still there, and no apparent progress had been made. So I canceled the change, and then used the "Modify" button to do a full edit. But after I finished and tried to save the edits, the computer sat there for about 10 minutes with the status bar (at the bottom) showing a loading bar. Then out of nowhere, it switched to a blank screen with this text:

Database Error: MySQL server has gone away.
File: /home/nitwose/public_html/nifflas/forum/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2496

I tried again, but the same thing happened. Does anybody know what happened and maybe how to fix it? :huh:

Errors occur sometimes to MySQL, it's normal, especially when the database is so huge.

Well, (expletive). Do you know if there's anything I can do?

Try again in the minute or two, this should help

You've just visited at a busy moment for the server. There's nothing you can do, there's nothing we can do either. The only thing you'll have to do is try again at a later moment. If things persist you could try clearing your temporary internet files and close your browser afterwards.

Looks like you were right, I just needed to wait a while before it started working again. Thanks! :D
