I got the error when I tried to search yesterday as some have mentioned - but I was able to do a tag search without issues. If I link to VF from an email update or go to the general forums page first (i.e., not New Posts), I can get into my checkin and other threads (including this one).

Have you tried scrolling through to the bottom of any pages on this forum
to the 'forum jump' window and
selecting challenges and check-in page option?

I find it interesting that the features many of use the most are the ones not operating. (re: Search, new posts)

I never use the New Posts feature. However, I sometimes get a message that the server is busy. Eventually I can get in and post.

When I try New Posts, here's what it says in the error I get:
Quote:
The Video Fitness Forum database has encountered a problem.
Please try the following:
Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
Open the forum.videofitness.com home page, then try to open another page.
Click the Back button to try another link.
If I click on the link were it says "Open the form.videofitness.com home page," that works for me - I just then have to navigate to where I want to go.

If you go to the Members list, sort by date joined, and go to the end, there are only 2 new members for 2018, NONE for 2019 or 2020, and 2 for 2021:
http://forum.videofitness.com/member...ndate&page=214

That seems odd, especially since the home page shows new members virtually every day (including today).

Now I'm getting a "server too busy" message.

My current workaround is to do a tag search and then navigate from there to the general discussion and other forums.

Yes, Beth, I have been mentioning for months now about the lack of new members when you sort the member list by date joined.

I'm guessing maybe the "new members" on the homepage maybe aren't fully registered/activated?

ETA: I'm guessing Wendy has to delete a lot of the "new members" because most of them look like bots (not real people).

Apart from the above-mentioned problems, mine has been super slow - to the point of timing out and getting that error message - often have to refresh several time to be able to post, even though other websites are fine, so the problem isn't at my end.

To type this, had to refresh only once, but it had still timed out with the first click to post.

I tried this, posted my check in, and got that "500" error.

Frustrating!
