    How I Solved My Database Error Problem

    As some other members have mentioned, I've been getting database errors pretty frequently over the past few months. Normally, I solved the problem by clearing my cookies. But there is a better solution that doesn't require me to continually clear my cookies. The following solution works for Chrome. Don't know about other browsers.

    1. Go to "Settings" in your Chrome Browser
    2. Under "Privacy and security" click "Site Settings"

    3. Click "Cookies and Site Data"

    4. Under "Clear on exit", click "Add", type "http://thepoliticalforums.com" into the prompt, and click "Add" again.


    5. Now your browser will automatically clear TPF cookies each time you exit the site.

    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    I have found most of my tPF issues are related to a VPN I use. When I encounter issues, slow opening of a page, errors posting, DB error, etc, I disconnected from the VPN, refresh the page and all is well. I can then reconnect the VPN and all is well.
