Mustang Forum Status

Is the Mustang forum down? For the last 3 days I've been getting this message when I've tried to log on :

"Connection Problems

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later. "

Do I need to clear cookies for the Mustang site & try again?

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by the delusional illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Same problem here.
Can't 'get there from here'.
Constantly shows "misdirected or the server is busy".

Clearing cookies for the Mustang website was a no-go. Still can't log on.

Not sure why they're using a Smurf for their IT support, but cartoon characters are notoriously unreliable so you have to expect for these things to happen.

I also have not been able to connect to their forum for some time.

I may have to pay them a visit to check this issue out in person!

I called Tara's cell and left her a message to see if they needed my help to get it back up and running.

I heard back from Tara. Changes are coming this Thursday... if everything goes as planned. If those changes do not work, then I offered to help them for free.

Looks like the site is up but it's not fully functional. You can't post anything. After entering your text & hitting the POST button, the screen goes blank. There's no indication that it's loading. One thing that is working now that hasn't worked in a long time is the Avatar function. I was seeing them when I was looking around the site. If you were a forum member before the outage, you'll have to log in again.

Looks like everything is working again on the Mustang forum site. Even the corrupted avatar thingy is fixed.
