I've been getting this same message, rather annoying to say the least.

Same here. Probably something to do with the issues they had this morning.

Folks, and folkettes (both of you) we were the victims of a serious forum breach early this morning, possibly from aliens, we're not sure.
Our field hospitals are littered with the horribly wounded and the merely annoyed, their blood curdling complaints chilling us all.
We will fight on the beaches, and in the hills and sub-forums, so that our valor or at least our sheer stubbornness will be long cherished and dearly remembered.
For as long as the English language is misused men will say, "This was their finest hour ... sort of."

THE FORUMS WILL BE DOWN AGAIN FOR 25 HOURS from 12:15 am this Saturday, Dec. 5th until 1:15 am Sunday the 6th for quadruple secret maintenance.
During this otherwise unwelcome interregnum, please find something productive to do. Om for world peace or re-grout the tile in your bathroom. You DO have a bathroom, don't you?
Oh, sure, you'll curse us at first, but in the end, this short vacation will make a better person out of you, and you can thank us later.

Happens when I try to view all posts for a user... same issue I'm sure.

All of the above.

I've also been running into the same error for a couple of days now. Here is to hoping it is fixed after the maintenance this weekend.

Well given that I can read this post, it seems like the forums work fine. The search has always had problems so not being able to use that is nothing new... or have you already forgotten what we used to go through?
