Database Error

[TulsaJeff]

I apologize for the "Database Error" folks..

This just means we need to upgrade the bandwidth allowances on our server... if we have too much activity going on at one time, i.e. a lot of folks posting, reading, refreshing pages, then the server is overloaded with more bandwidth than we are allowed.

When this happens more than a couple of times in a short period of time, it just shuts down and will not work again until I reboot it manually.

Anyway... just wanted everyone to know a little bit of the technical reason for it and that I am working on it.

As always, I don't ask for a lot and the goody's that I have for sale do help some, but if anyone wishes to help in a monetary way then you can do that at the top left of the main page of the forum where it says "Support SMF".

Everyone have a good night.. my bed is calling.

Jeff,

I just clicked on "Support SMF" and sent you $15.00. I hope others will do the same so you can get your bandwidth!! I truly enjoy this site and am pleased to help support SMF!

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Regards,

Meowey

You got my $25.00, I'd give more but my mods have done a job on me this month. I thank you Jeff for all the great service, and for providing a fantastic site!

Did what I could, Jeff...thanks!

 

[TulsaJeff]

Thank you everyone for your generosity.. I will be contacting our hosting service next week and taking care of a substantial upgrade.

Is there a snail mail address where folks can send donations?
I'm looking, but have not found it yet.

 

[pduke216]

Just the entertainment value of this forum alone is worth the donation i am sending. Glad to help.

I've been planning on it for a while, and I'm doing a smoke tomorrow, so I went ahead and bought Jeff's Rub. Now, hopefully it will get here soon so I don't have to use my own when I have a new one. Hope it helps, I know I can't wait.

EDIT: WOO HOO, here already. Thanks. That was quick.

Howdy Jeff,
Just wanted to let you know that I think that this site is awesome. I've learned allot, met allot of really great people and in all honesty without the support of everyone, your rib rub and sauce recipes.....I wouldn't have had the success I've had or the oprotunity to enhance my relationship with my son through smoking. I look forward to continuing to improve my smoking and having fun with the site. (best jokes around) LOL. I've also made you a small donation showing my support for the site and will also be purcahsing some apparel. ....I also want to challenge all fellow Canucks to make a donation of any value. Thanks again Jeff...BADSS.
