The signature file below says it all really. I've been locked out of the message boards by a strange error message since Monday afternoon (GMT), and have tried to post around 50 messages since then only for them to get blocked. I've mailed Nic twice to ask for help, to no avail.

I'm sure that opening a second account will probably get me banned, but there are areas of correspondence that have opened that include my input and need continued input. If I'm stranded on 986 forever, so be it. It's only a remix of 586 anyway !

998 to go :)

I'm kind of reinstalling my system, but what the hell is the problem with your account?

No I didn't lock you out so I can get to 1000 before you..

I'll sure fix this, but I think the server is ok now.. so let's see..

I sent you a couple of e-mails with the details of the problem, which is a Microsoft OLE DB error that causes a timeout on any page. Every time I try to post or reply to a post it tells me that no further transactions are possible in this session. Can't understand it.

Alright.. I fixed it.

Your signature was too long, and it's now fixed.

You see, I allowed 2000 characters in the signature, but the message signature field was only able to handle 255.. and you had more than 255 caracters in your signature.

Not a very explicit message I know, but I searched for that one so many times that now I know it.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I was sure you had the same problem as everyone with the timeouts...!!
