There was a "problem with the database" but it seems to be okay now, Are you still having the problem?

[danasegarane]

Yes I still have the problem.I got this message just few minutes ago.

[danasegarane]

Now I get the same Error :)

I've asked the tech guys (Systems) to look into the site and see if something is happening.

Brad!

I use IE6 and I don't experience the problem.

Brad, could you also ask them to look at the problem with images that I mentioned in the Moderators forum?

[danasegarane]

Dear Brad,
I use Opera. I moved to Visual Basic Forum.And from There, I choose the search option and in that i typed "Create sql alias" and I got the same results just few seconds ago.

The issues in search might have to do with another issue. We are talking with the server guys. Stay tuned -- things should get better.

I did the same search and got

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.7:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT wordid, title FROM word
WHERE title LIKE('sql');

Is this still happening for you guys?

I just did a search and had no difficulties at all.

[danasegarane]

Yes It still happening HACK :)

It's only the "create sql alias" query that triggers it.

It's only the "create sql alias" query that triggers it.I don't understand what you mean.

[penagate]

Search for those exact terms in that order and you get the error.

When I searched on "create sql alias" (and I used the quotes), I got this. (http://www.vbforums.com/search.php?searchid=1339131)

[MartinLiss]

I did it without the quotes and while before I got an error it is working now.

We banned a few spiders from the forum late last week. The spiders were slowing things down - which would cause search errors and such.

Things should be better this week :)

Brad!
