Server overload

[El Gordo]

I have had an interesting mail from the hosting company, saying that while there is no evidence of any actual server load issues, they have investigated the back end of the board, and noticed a setting that needs changing. This I have now done. They say this should disable the error. Let's see if it does.

More generally, I won't bore you with any more martyr-like descriptions of the pursuit of a resolution to this -- that would be almost as time-consuming and tedious as the quest itself, but let me just say that it has taken up a fair chunk of time, so I am grateful for the comments.

Thanks for your patience, and be assured that there is no need to write any obituaries just yet --not for the forum anyway. I do have my fears about MLCM though, and his current state of mind. I hope he'll be back to entertain us again soon.
