Please contact the system administrator...?

Now, or at least until 5 m ago, this popped up when trying to access the Logic Pro forum:

An error in the system has occurred. Please contact the system administrator if the problem persists.

Useful links :

* Forum Home -- browse the forums here.
* Search Forums -- visit the search page to query all forum content.

I have gotten this again today, and the advice just doesn't make sense without any contact info as to where such a contact should be directed to. This place comes closest.
Two tips/questions: 1. could there be a possibility to report this error added? A link to whoever is responsible for correcting this type of fault?
2. Or, if this is just a generic announcement and it is really not intended for anyone to report anything to anyone, just leave out the whole "Please contact..." part?

regards, Erik.

I'm not getting any error message when trying to access the Logic Pro forum. Are you trying to access a particular post? The error message you're describing sounds like the one you'd get if you tried to access a post that had been removed.

That error means that a thread has lost its parent in the database. If the issue isn't resolved after about an hour, post here.

Hope I won't be accused of highjacking but I have just come across this message when trying to access SL discussions. I've also had problems with accessing discussions in all its forms on Friday/Saturday last. Is there anything out of order at Apple? Out of interest, I do wish Apple would have a 'News' section on the main support page ... or am I missing something?

Adding to the previous message ...

The problem is only with SL pages of the Forum.

The page itself, when it does appear has become distorted insofar as it has taken on extra width.

Hooray! SL pages have reappeared in correct state.

But I'm still curious about the reason.

The boards were down for maintenance Saturday.
When they came back on, just a few forums still needed tweaking.

On the start page, if maintenance is planned, there will be a notice.
There was one Thrus & Fri, and then another one posted when they came back up.

Thank you, Bee,

I didn't notice the boards were down as I was away over most of that period. Just a coincidence, I suppose.

Hello again Bee,

I also wanted to thank you for your contribution to the Beach Balls thread of February 1st. I know its off subject but as we had this link. The solution
came with the addition of an extra 2GB of memory. I had been running SL on 1GB and with other applications it was just not enough. Hope this reaches you.

Regards.

Boy, that is just great to hear!
We tried almost everything else, didn't we?
It was a pleasure to be a part of the group of volunteers here who worked with you.
🙂
