| The white screen of death?
Anybody else been getting blank white screens when moving around in cc yesterday and today? I got a couple of "database problem" announcements earlier today. But lots of times, I can't click on a thread or a post or a PM. Instead of seeing the item, I get a blank white screen. No fun at all.  |

Good--it's not just me or my laptop. (But it shows me how addicted I am to this site!!!)--earlier I couldn't get in at all, and started going through withdrawal!!!

I suspect there is a LOT of web traffic - probably DNS Attacks or spam against the infrastructure.

Same here and it's having a chilling effect. Choosing what to click on very carefully as the aggravation quotient rises with each repeat. Feel honored that your "white screen of death" was deemed click worthy.
NJres: Huh?

So in this case the opposite of "the white screen of death" is what? The blue screen of life?

I suspect some change to a script made by the operators.

I've had this problem in several websites today, so I suspect its the WWW, not just CC.

I've had this problem as well. It's annoying, but at least it's bearable (just keep refreshing till it loads :P)

The white screens ate up several of my posts. I supposed the Parents' Cafe can function without my contributions  |

Also, when I try to post (and if you're following me, you'll see I'm doing a heck of a lot of that tonight --), it tells me "The following problem occurred with my post" and then the message is "Okay." So I click on "Post the damn thing" again and, half the time, it finally posts.
