That wouldn't solve this particular problem :p

Do it anyway.

That's my line.

The tech guys have cleared out what they refer to as "stale semaphores". I've never heard of the term and a quick search hasn't proven very informative so I can't elaborate.

However, they mentioned that if the errors still occurred to contact them again for further troubleshooting, so please keep posting the error messages in here if you receive any more.

Oh yeah I forgot you're with one of those 'we'll put 10.000 accounts on one server and make mad money' hosts. Makes sense in that case.

Dreamhost have been an excellent provider, even if we're on shared hosting. A hiccup every now and then is expected.

November 2010 will be our sixth year with them. Considering we switched between hosts 2-4 times in the vicinity of 18 months prior to moving to Dreamhost, the timeliness and competence of support, the price, the services, etc, I am more than happy with them :)

Semaphores are a concept in real time programming wherein multiple threads share common resources. Semaphores are flags that represent that a particular resource has been reserved and is being used. I presume that a stale semaphore is one that was reserved but never released, thus limiting access to resources later on.

I still haven't had any errors whatsoever, even when trying different features like New Thread or advanced search. I feel so left out

Don't think I've forgotten the good old days!

What happened to you guys? You used to be cool! Now you've forgottan your roots, brothas! How could you do that, man? How could you bow to da man?

God help us, Splat is trying to be street.

It's the only viable option that I can see.

Curses, now I have no embarrassing threads to link to.
