Bill,

Not sure if you know but I am seeing a lot (i.e. 1 in 10 pages) errors when going between boards.

/ads/writebanner.mv: Line 93: MvLOCKFILE: Runtime Error: Error creating lockfile 'banners/zoneview.dbf.lck': Timed out waiting for lock

I cannot see any of the page other than this message so cannot tell you if it is a given ad or not.

Seems to be when I am moving board to board or to a message thread not when coming back from a message thread. This could be to do with Firefox chaching the page as I use the back arrow (or mouse button equivalent)

Using Opera. I'm getting the lockfile thingy on posts older than today.

I get it with IE9 too.

Interesting… that's a new species of lockfile bug. Might be caused by a sudden spike in page-hits. I cleared out some of the dataspace, which might improve things. (I haven't seen this bug myself, yet.)

Unlikely to be related to a specific banner.

Need more info – might not be the same problem.

I am getting it as well today using Firefox. Got it on 2 of the 3 threads I looked at (this thread being the one that I didnt get it on)
