It seems that my hoster is still finalizing the move to a new computer center, which is causing sporadic problems on the forum. Among other things you may occasionally get a message like "cannot connect to database" when you try to post a message. You can usually solve this by clicking on the "Back" button in your browser and then selecting "Submit" again.
Sorry about this, but the problem should be cleared up in a couple of days. The integrity of the forum itself is not at risk, I have incremental backups and even if disaster strikes I will not lose more than a couple of hours of postings...
