Database Error

When I try to get into the forums from the main page I get a Database Error page using IE or Mozilla. I can get in here from the galleries and clicking my profile, searching statistics for recent threads and then clicking the thread tree at the top. But if I click the Forums button all I get is Database Error. I've run a scan on my PC thinking maybe my kids got a bug on there but it's come up clean. Any help would be appreciated.

Try cleaning your history, temporary internet files, and cookies under internet options. Also check for any updates to your computer, the most important update is Java. Virus protection can miss many virus's, esspecially malware. If my first suggestions don't work try downloading malware bytes and running a scan.

Hope this helps.

I almost forgot the default fix. After you delete the cookies, and update your files, turn your computer off then turn it back on. If that doesn't work then try the next step.

Ran malware bytes. Clean.

I'll try the TIF and cookies. If I recall correctly it happened from work as well so I'm wondering if it's in my account somehow.

Thanks.

Udate.

Deleted everything... no luck. Rebooted. Now I'm going to bump up from IE8 to IE9 and see what happens.

Really weird.

Reupdate. Upgrading to IE9 made no difference. I'm not having any other trouble online with other sites or applications. Just getting onto the main forum page. I keep getting the Database Error page.

I used to run IE and had a lot of trouble. Switched to Firefox never any trouble since. Greg
