Errors with Math Forum Discussions
http://mathforum.org/kb/
Over the weekend, our discussion software began to struggle with recurring errors that we have failed to resolve ourselves. Many thousands of messages -- including the Forum's own internal staff correspondence -- remain back-logged in limbo.
We're sorry.
Thank you for your patience as we resolve this problem.
