Maybe we should start a '-1 post' club... that way we can pretend to be really exclusive and trendy instead of a bunch of people who are getting a really weird error.

My server errors aren't only at peak times, so it appears to be more than just heavy use. 
However, I have every confidence that the situation will improve.

Mr. D, did you notice that the error vanishes when you refresh the page ? Because that's what I did right now, and 
the error was gone

I did indeed B'Elana... in fact, I think I was one of the (if not *the*) first people to encounter it.

I know you were the first to mention the error, but can't recall that you said how to 'delete' it

A groundhog day *is* a temporal anomaly... anyway, I think there are definitely holes in the time stream. Either that or Elton has decided to get down wiv da old skool... I just had a Ripley Config File Error.

Paully, I have no problem with gradual improvements as long as they're instantaneous.

Can´t one take a transatlantic flight for a week and trust that ANYONE take care of the hampsters?????
Elton and Jimster were STARVING!!! when I arrived home a few hours ago... and their litter box... (horrible, just horrible!!)
Excuse me for yelling, but I´ve spent more than three hours calming the poor little ones, feeding them and cleaning up their place....
