I may just need a new mouse altogether, because I've checked my system settings for my mouse, and it says everything is good, and i've looked at the controls on the games, and it seems good.

If you do have a problem with the mouse, wouldn't the right/left do the same thing for other operations elsewhere as well? e.g can you right click on a hyperlink it would connect instead of showing a menu, it would be the same as left click. If it doesn't maybe it is a problem with the games software.

It doesn't do that, no. Perhaps it is just the games. I'll have to check it out with that then.

Ok so, now it actually is starting to do the problem when i'm not in games. I think I may need to get a new mouse.

The trouble I had with logging into plug.dj (and other problems with other sites) might be cause by Scorpion Saver.

Is anyone else getting "database error" messages? I've had a few this morning and have had to reload the page. Message says the staff have been informed of the problem, but have you? Is this a real error or is someone trying to hack in? Does anyone know about this?

Yeah I have gotten the same error as well.

I think that means that the site is under construction or something. I haven't seen that message on here but that was the case with two other forums I'm on.

I doubt it means the site was under construction. I don't think any legitimate web developer out there would prefer error messages over a redirect notification page saying the site was down for maintenance. Besides, it was database errors, which means the site was functional but it had a problem accessing the database where all the data is stored.

Their other forum City Data has issues all the time because so many people use it and obviously Advameg hasn't done much in the way of building or hosting on a better infrastructure to handle it. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true for this site. We do get quite a lot of traffic, particularly on the guest side of things.
