Anyone else getting error messages when they try to post? I have already sent a support email to [email protected].

My error:

Code:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

The table does not comply with the requirements by an external plugin. [3098]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

And yet my posts still work.

Both of the forums (MOUL & Cyan) have been loading very slowly lately. Seems like it started the day we learned about Firmament.

I'm guessing that the webhost used for the forums might have been tinkering with moving the databases onto a cluster with group replication. Group replication and mis-matched settings seems to be behind most cases of MySQL throwing up error 3098 from what I can see.

@Chogon

Can smapty work on getting DRCSite.org back online?

It's the Indiana Jones dig site of Uru. Treasures await.

Or maybe it's the Flying Dutchman of Cyan Worlds. Not sure which. Maybe both.

Find out if he can be bribed with gifts of food to work off Cyan's clock.
I'm sure there are a quite a few of us who would be happy to arrange something.

Well at least I'm now able to see this thread again (it's been missing for me for the last two or three days, although I know others could see it at least sometimes)

I and many others have had these issues with the Forum. So I sent Cyan a note
about it yesterday. Now... all is back to normal [for me]. I can read everything
again just fine. All my own posts etc. [they kept disappearing and reappearing]

However!!! Several peeps are reporting that they have the same issue! Still!!!

So I dunno, maybe it's an issue that occur just randomly...?

I'm fairly sure the most recent issue is/was down to a caching issue at Cloudflare (their website was showing a problem with cache purges being delayed by up 2.5 hours earlier today). Since the Cloudflare "endpoint" you use when accessing the MOULa forums will vary depending on your location (and the Las Vegas endpoint is currently showing that it's traffic is being re-routed) it means that people can end up seeing different versions of the forums if the caching goes flaky.

I just tried to load this page and it said: "this topic does not exist". I tried again and it worked.

Another issue here is that every Search user’s posts link leads to a General Error page:

Quote:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'mystonline.p.post_time' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT [3065]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

Quite aggravating for researchers.

Ah, that's a known compatibility issue with phpBB 3.1 and MySQL 5.7 (or at least it looks very like it):
https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-14637

There is a workaround for it - Maybe needs Smapty to poke around with the webserver setup a bit

The img for Obduction isn't showed, but the link to "Obduction's Kickstarter" is still there.

That div does not show up for me(it's in the code but I don't see it). Using Chrome.
