Account can't be verified and I'm a Deadlock victim

Hi Techies

This is a first.

I had Posted a post, the forum was refreshing, and a black and white screen came up that said the account for my email address could not be activated.

So I tried signing out and signing in again, to see if that worked, and a mainly yellow page came up calling me A Deadlock victim, plus lots of strings of text.

I waited a couple of moments and tried again, and it's now fine.

Was it just me?

Best wishes Chris

    Its the gremlins in the software.... old sql stack most likely

    It's both what you do and the way that you do it!

  • Hi Chris

    The most popluar time for a software upgrade is between midnight and one in the morning, just in case anything goes wrong it allows 5-6 hours to put it right. This was common practice with telephone exchanges.

    If you look at the post from last night I was the last one at 11.58 pm which appears to back this up.

    Fingers crossed they have overcome their problem now as I know what it's like when the morning comes and it's still not working.
