On the sites blog, it says there was a database error. I was having trouble getting into various threads and nothing would post and posts were randomly missing.

but I'll update the post that people can post again

It's like the database errors ate the first post of the thread! 
I dont know why they stuck with an older file format. FAT & FAT32 is only good for memory sticks now a days (unless youre lucky enough to have a memory stick over 4Gigs)

We are going to be upgraded to a 64-bit Linux 2.6.x system very soon (next weekend?). It has a 16TB limit on table size.

That begs the question, is there anything larger than 16TB by the time we fill that up too?We are going to be upgraded to a 64-bit Linux 2.6.x system very soon (next weekend?). It has a 16TB limit on table size.
16 TERA-Bytes. By the time we manage to fill THAT up, there will be bigger and better things available.
Yeah, that's 4000 times bigger than the current limit.

so the database got full?
The flashing envelope that says we've got an unread PM isn't working for me. It's gone.

Right. This will be fixed when we migrate to a new database server in the near future. In addition to that, Atomic Gamer has also increase the maximum # of rows allowed in database table, which was not high enough.
Try clearing the cache and reloading the page. You can also try to view the image directly and try to reload it:

Okay, it's back. I got your PM before seeing this post, so I guess everything is okay now (I have another message to read).

civfanatics.net gets tagged as a gaming site, so i can't access it on my college computers. Luckily CFC Forum doesnt!

At work it is the same way for me.

Lucky B******s !! We use webwasher at work and CFC has been tagged as a gaming site, so I can't access it anymore.
Surprisingly, this led to a great increase in productivity (that is, if you discount the two full days in which I tried to fix this problem and find a way to browse CFC at work)
