Happens early in the morning, usually goes away about 7am my time. But if I am trying to get into forums before 6am, this is what I get.

TIA

ARe those issues gone later in the day. sounds like our db is locked during our daily backup around the time you are trying to hit those pages

By 7am EST, no issues. It usually shows several thousand people in the forums, I just can't get in, I get those errors listed above.

This is our backup locking up a table required for that page to display.  I'll have to see if I can find a workaround to not show the featured ads during the backup
