I cannot access the forums without going through a proxy!!
If I don't use a proxy I get the following error message:
"Database error
The HEXUS.community discussion forums database has encountered a problem."
This has been happening since yesterday and is quite annoying TBH!!
and can i make one last appeal to be allowed into the 'bargains' section of Hexus? i don't ever remember getting banned from there, but i am.. and i've tried PM'ing several admins/mods about this problem but they always say they'll get back to me.
I have e-mailed the Hexus webmaster and forum people and have received no replay.
Also I keep getting logged out after around 30 minutes or so when I could access the forums.
If this goes on for another day I might as well leave this forum. I can't be arsed posting if I have to go though all this rigmarole!!
I am also on the Sudhian forums if anyone is bothered.
See ya!
Don't go mooseman :(
It seems strange that its broken just for you.
have you cleared any temp files from your browser ? also try a different browser.
fyi: ejecting entertainment devices from your corral when you don't get a response in 30 minutes is unlikely to endear you towards the (volunteer) administrators....
I e-mailed one in the morning and another a few hours ago. Also I have tried three different browsers and two different computers. I have disabled all security software and cleared everything I can thinkoff.Quote:

If changing your web connection ( by using the proxy ) seems to resolve the issue , thats where I'd be tempted to start looking. Do you run many browser plugins? if you havn't done so can you try and disable those too ?

It is only http://forums.hexus.net/ which seems to throwing a hissy fit, In the other thread Clunk said he had the same issue sometime (unless it was in jest).
Using a proxy is the only way I can log in. I have disabled all my plugins in firefox to no avail. I have used Firefox 3.5 and 3.6,IE7,IE8 and Opera 9. The last three have no plugins at all and I tried different computers.
i had some trouble yesterday getting onto the forums part of Hexus.. maybe there is some kind of issue at Hexus' end?
If anyone has got any ideas(even obvious ones) please tell me??
I can log in too both the Sudhian an OcUK forums fine if this will help.
BTW,I cannot edit any of my posts or thank anyone when using the proxy.

Routing issues I believe, but they have now been resolved afaik.Quote:

I tried cycling through the things I did before for the second time(including rebooting the router and The computers) and I can access the forum section again.
OTH, it still doesn't explain why I could log-in to other forums. When I looked on other forums about the error message most replied were suggesting an issue with the websites in question so this is why I made the post(s).
Regarding the ISP it was a speed issue and they sorted it out. I could access any website but at pedestrian rate. Now I get much faster internets.
I don't understand what the heck happened especially since I had tried he same things earlier. Thanks to everyone and sorry to the people who I may have annoyed.
OTH,don't call me a spammer especially since other forums members(londoner being one) have repeated the same questions in different parts of the forum and also when you have people like rollo who have been banned on multiple forums too.
Make another account and try logging in with that? If that works it's almost certainly a problem with hexus + your account.
It seems to work now(my previous post) but still confused what happened as I had tried nothing new.
I believe networks must be living entities of some kind.
Edit!!
Perfectionist seemed to have the same issue as I had:

Got a point there!!Quote:

Working fine now though.
I've bumped the issue up to all the mods, we'll look at it for you :)Quote:

Sound like the issue was with your isp or the route you're isp was taking you to get here.
ps do any of thoes other forums begin http://forum. ?
The OcUK forum and the Sudhian forums both start with http://forum. Also it still does not explain why it was the forums and not the other parts of Hexus which were not affected??Quote:

Well it could of been if isp filtering was causeing only partical requests to go through.
This looks like it's no simple issue, looks like it was ether an issue with your accout of network pathway.
However that means it's pritty impossible for us non-admins to investigate.
Maybe a Moose fell from a helicopter, missing the panda but hitting your internets cable. ;)
I've had issues before which I've only managed to resolve by clearing the cookies for that site / domain.
Illegal in certain states ;)Quote:

I bet the Moose wish it had Moose insurance itself!! :lol:
I was going suggest that technically the moose wouldn't need moose insurance, it would need car insurance... but that would be an entirely different situation.Quote:
