I was just typing a response on a thread and when I tried to submit it I got an error message saying that the poll I had tried to create triggered some sort of locking program or something and it basically said that the system was confused and that the poll couldn't be created. I wasn't trying to create a poll, has this happened to anyone else or is this just some sort of strange anomaly?

Wow I am sooo lucky is there a check or something else that I can spend? I hope there will be a party with confetti and ballons and cake. Oooh i LOVE cake so sweet and full of sugar.

Seriously though, has anyone else experienced this problem or am I the first one?

I did that, I was just wondering if there was something I did to trigger it and someone else knew what it was.

Yeah the thread I was on wasn't locked, it was started by Lil G and had a title to the effect of "What are you going to be when you grow up?" or something like it. I think it's still on the first page here in the Flood.

It is an issue with the kind of database bungie.net is using to run the forum. I have contacted the support about this issue, and they said is will just happen from time to time until the database is changed.

If you read the rest of the posts you would've seen that that's exactly what I did, and that the reason I created this thread was to see if someone knew what I had done to get that because I didn't.

Thanks, I was wondering if it was something like that.

If you have a surge protector in your house or in the power strip your comp is plugged into you should be safe. But I didn't see you on here earlier before the thunder.
