senior_falcon Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I am trying to upload a video and get this error message. Any ideas? "There appears to be an error with the database.

Ask sometimes99er... he's the king of adding gifs inline To be honest, I'd like to know how he makes those awesome little videos too, they're mightily effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will then try to reproduce the problem on my end, and if I see errors, I can hopefully figure out what's going on and correct the issue.
