Friday Night Pacific time the forum was not accessible with a message about PHP error. Database cannot be accessed. Any information about this error or is it only me?

Extremely sorry about the problem that occured. There was some issues with the database server that has seemed to crash for some reason. The problem is being investigated by technical staff and I'll post the details later.

Additionally, there's an error that seemingly happens every day around (now) 4am Eastern Time, which has not yet had a patch issued by Redhat Enterprise Linux, the server crashes (actually becomes inaccessable).

Both issues are being looked at, but we can only use workarounds since our vendors are slow on patching rare bugs.



Sorry for the inconvenience to everyone.

That error seems to occur, apparently, when changes are being made to a forum? So I just assumed that you were perhaps making some changes. I'm just glad to wake up this morning and see all is well.
