It happens every now and again when trying to load any of the forums

It's actually a dummy error which needs to be replaced by a friendlier message. It's caused by the backup script which locks each database while copying its contents.

ah ok i see

How about when it is doing that. "Back up in process. Please refresh your browser."

That's the kind of thing I meant when I said changing it to a friendlier error message - something which tells the user what is going on. Unfortunately the only Internet access I have at the moment is via work so it'll have to wait until our new modem arrives and I have enough time to fix the things like this

Ahh I see.

Alright. Hope the best for the new modem

This should now be active on all forums. Unfortunately I'm never at a computer while the backups run (from 8.00 GMT/0.00 PST). So if anyone can let me know when (or if) it shows up that would be great.

ok will do, i have the problem quite often so next time I see it i'll let you know.

I will also. I do not see it often. 99.9% of the time I don't see it.

What would be that time for CST?

That was thrown by the backup script. I guess my friendly error isn't working.

*merges topics*

Oh ok, and I like that feature helps out ALLOT.

Have you tried to replace it completely with you friendly message?

I've added in some extra debugging so that when an error occurs it'll store a few more details in the error log. Hopefully that'll help me pinpoint how to check if the error is being caused by the backup or not.

Alright, when ever an error occurs again I will post back saying what it shows.

At 3:10 AM CST I got this:

But is it supposed to do this when you refresh?

I suppose ideally it would strip all other content from the page. As what's happened there looks like the page started loading but half way through loading the backup started. So the first half of the page executed and was displayed along with the backup error.

Oh I forgot to mention I refreshed again and all content was gone and that display was on the upper left hand corner. Your Friendly message looks good by the way. So no one has to worry when they refresh their forum.
