Ok, bug in this thread. The threa list shows it to have one more post than it really does. If this would cause it to roll over to a new page, clicking on the link to that page give an error.

Pages after the first in the "find all posts by $USER" search, as per a profile page, are kinda broken.
For example, if you go to my profile and hit "find all posts by Eikre" and then go to page 2, it'll work fine.
But if you go to Frank's profile and try the same thing, the system will inform you: "No topics or posts met your search criteria"
However:
The address of the first page of one of these searches is formed using the username, and the second is with a search id number.
http://tgdmb.com/search.php?search_author=FrankTrollman
and
http://tgdmb.com/search.php?search_id=99646708&start=25
for example.
And if you take the modifier off the end of the first URL (the bit that says &start=25 ) and append it to the first page's URL, you can get the rest of a broken search history to work. For example:
http://tgdmb.com/search.php?search_auth ... n&start=25
I hope that behavior helps inform the fix.

I'm getting a lot of "decode errors." Go to a page, and it just doesn't come up or comes up much later, and there's just an ERR.

Noticed any sort of pattern - time of day, etc?
Can you grab a screen shot next time, please?

Here's one of them:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Apache Server at box409.bluehost.com Port 80
The Decode Error only seems to come when I'm not looking for it. Usually when I'm looking at a new page of a long thread or adding a post. My post will get added, but then instead of showing it to me, I'll get a white screen of death with an ERR Decode on it.
There we go:

Thanks.
Has anybody else been experiencing this? Or is Frank special?

I haven't hit anything lately, but you can sign up for pingdom for free.
That should help you track any problems like this @Zherog.
edit:
Bonus points, they test from multiple servers across the world, so they can tell you what approximate area it's disrupted in.

Sometimes a page will only partially load, and everything below a certain point will be in html gibberish. Like so:

Reloading usually makes it come back up in legible text.

I was trying to go back and look at my old posts, but for some reason, when I click on the "all posts by this user", it shows 377 pages of my posts, and displays the first page, however, clicking on any page besides page 1 shows an error "No topics or posts met your search criteria"

I can duplicate this bug with Frank, Lago, and Koumei, but not with fbmf, Zherog, or Josh. That is to say, it's a result of the users' obscenely high post counts and not because they're members of the 07 Mar 2008 club. After a certain number of posts, tgdmb stops being able to show you all of your posts.
Performing the search yourself will not get you around the bug, which is not surprising because clicking "find all posts by ____" just performs the search and redirects you to the results.

Wow what a bastard. Doing like, investigative work and figuring out where the problem is. Way to make me look bad

I've seen the same problem when trying to look at Frank's posts and my own.

Specifically, the problem is that the site doesn't retain that data. Notice that the URL of the first page contains what you were searching for, but on subsequent it's the ID of the search. Using search.php?search_author=Kaelik&start=(25 per page) lets you go subsequent pages.

That does not appear to work for me schpeelah.

Some threads I've read aren't marking themselves as read. Any idea of a solution?

I've never had a real solution, so what I do is after I open every thread I want to read in a new tab, I use the Mark All Threads as Read option in the top right.

When trying to Quick Reply (over the last few minutes, so ~0655 to 0710 GMT) I get a screen saying "Could not insert new word" and my reply isn't immediately shown if I return to the thread.
EDIT: Trying to edit posts brings me to the same "Could not insert new word" screen, but it doesn't take as long to show the changes to the post.

I've been getting the same:
General Error
Could not insert new word
I got it twice today, so far. If I click back on the browser and refresh the screen, my post is there, at least.
Edit: Got it on this post, too.

Some quick googling - and working around the stupid fucking filters here at work - makes it look like it's something I should be able to fix tonight from the database side. I'll confirm that later, as well as give notification if there will be any downtime or such from the fix.

Anybody had the error since I posted this morning? Because I can't seem to reproduce it now...

I think we're fixed. Despite not being able to reproduce the error again, I ran the "repair" command on the database table. Earlier, the googles turned up one of two problems: it was either a temporary issue caused by our host, or it was a corrupted table. Being unable to reproduce it points toward the temporary host issue, but just in case I did the repair.
If anybody has the issue again, of course, please let me know.
