    Oh shoot.
    Were you marking an individual one, or all marking them all (at the bottom of the main page)?
    I just tried marking them all and didn't get the error. It may be that you just pressed it a bad time, but if the problem is consistent this needs looking into.

    Tyro gets an automated e-mail for every time someone gets an error, so he'll probably look into it when he can.

    That's correct, Rarit. I looked into a couple of repairs but I wasn't able to replicate the error. Try it now.

    Ah, the good old days where EP would go through database errors every other day... Good times...

    That sounds like it would have been fairly problematic. What was the cause of the problem last time?

    The answer eludes me. I could be wrong, but I think it's because EP would occasionally get excessive packets of data at a time due to heavy traffic or something like that?

    Or maybe some coding was written wrong or something like that; I seem to recall heavy server load being an issue at one point though, outside of the couple DDoS attacks we've had.
