had this error when they changed the Layout of the website before the release of v5... Maybe it is just some work on the database.

Then it's good news. I feared they could be hacked.

lets hope so - time will tell. No info about any work on the database over the last days (but i guess they are never posting infos about that)

Sorry we are all having this problem, but at least I know the problem is not on my end.

It've observed this quite often before a new version was released, thus I wouldn't worry. After all, it's been quite some time after the last update.

Kind regards, Michael

I´ve observed they had often spam forum entries....so maybe they are taking care of it to avoid these.

A new version? I would be glad...but I think they should take enough time. I don´t want a unfinished TE....regardless of with or without BETA Tag 😉
