I'm having a bear of a time starting new topics. "/mivacommon/boards/newtopic.mv: Line 186: MvLOCKFILE: Runtime Error: Error creating lockfile 'boards/topics.dbf.lck': Timed out waiting for lock" is the most common result of my attempts, no matter where or when. I've just tried over half a dozen times to post in Modern Aviation Discussion. Same thing happened when I tried to post in 6mm Scifi a few days ago, but that eventually worked. I can respond to posts with more reliability, but starting new topics just doesn't seem to be working anymore. (Edit: obviously, this one worked. On the first try, too. No idea why this worked, and the others didn't…) |

Happens a lot around this time of night, at least for me. |

I've had this problem, too, though I didn't realize it was associated with a particular time. I'll watch for that next time. Grelber |

It happens to me almost every time that I try to post a new topic on the TMP polls. That happens, or it doesn't show I have posted anything. Then I try to repost, and found I have double posted. So buggy, and so annoying. |

Happens to me a lot too. Mind you, theses days even successfully creating a post doesn't guarantee it'll be there a few hours later. |

It took me 4 tries to get something posted starting around 6PM TMP time. |

It seems to evolving. I posted today and it didn't offer me the opportunity to cross post. So I tried to post again and it wouldn't so I gave up. |

Today… I give up… was impossible to post at the "Doom Hour"… Take note the very few threads since 9PM… Amicalement Armand |
