database error makes safari unusable

I have had a problem with database error recently. I’m reading a thread and click on the thumbs up, and get the bellow message. No big deal, right? Well, the message opens in a separate window and I can not close the window in any way and it forces me to force quit my browser. It’s quite annoying, so I wonder if there is a way you guy could fix this? Even a pop up window that I would be able to close would be great.

I have had that too. Last couple of weeks, only in Safari.

BTW the “ghost” menu bar is gone today along with the green drop down menus. Least for now.

The site has been experiencing problems for the last few weeks on all browsers. It might be due to the DDOS attacks against hosts that have been going on over that same period.

So far, haven’t seen issues with Safari, either on MAC or iOS. Hope it stays that way.

I had it on my iPad with Atomic web, then Dolphin, then Safari.
My PC is always fine but I don’t use it (at home) so didn’t check it against the iPad.

You could always add the name and Ip address to the hosts file on your PC.
Not sure where that would be on an ios though.

I’m on a MacBook. I’ve had this problem twice or thrice so far I think. Nothing today, thankfully. It’s really not my issue or a IP address issue, but a issue of how the site handles a database error and the thumbs up.
