Is it just me or is anyone else getting a "database error" message when trying to list "New Posts", or "Today's Posts" on the Quick Links menu?
It's annoying because I can't tell which sub-fora have new posts in them with checking each one individually.

Good point actually.

I wonder if this query error is caused by the fact that the Site clock is off by an hour and 20 minutes?

An hour and 20?
I just get the usual ~20 minute discrepancy.

I probably have to reset the daylight savings setting....

Still, a 20 minute discrepancy? That's not right.

Yep.
DST settings brought it down to 20 minutes.

Similar problem here.

I'm set up to receive e-mail notices of replies to threads I've posted in. When I tried to access the threads via the links in the messages, I got the 'database error' message.

As far as I can remember it's "always" been off by about 20 minutes. I'm sure there was a thread about it a year (two?) ago...
Although I can't remember the reason for the discrepancy.

The whole site went down for me... every time I tried to view posts from between 5pm GMT to the time I went to bed (12am GMT) it had some database error or other... Firefox was telling me it was an encoding error of some sort.
Meh.
Fixed now, it seems, so all is well with the world. :)

I lost the entire forum yesterday morning and could not even log on until this morning. I just figured I was banned. Again.:D

Its been a long time since I saw that database error message. Used to be so frequent in the old days.

When site was with problems, I would try to open a page every hour or so. Strangely, my first try would usually work, but then nothing else would. I.e. the page was the one you get when you click on "User CP" - I.e. I saw the list of threads I have been active in, but could not open any. I don't know if this information helps understand problem.
