Improving Mindat.orgAccess to locality pages

I just ran through a bunch of different pages at 1:34 pm CDT and had no issues.
I am logged in (obviously) as well, so perhaps something on your end is buggered up??

One of the pitfalls of operating such a successful website, I suppose... ;-)

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_object() on a non-object in /home/mindat/www/loc.php on line 107

I have also found that I can work around it by uploading photos manually by pasting in the location in the space provided and doing the location check. Just a little more work.

With such a huge site as mindat now is, we are surprised it works as well as it does.
I had those "fatal error" issues a while back also but not recently.
Yesterday it was as Larry had said and I just waited and later it worked again, out again, worked again.
One has to work around those things and carry on.
All in all, things do work fairly well.

Things seem to hang up and go nowhere and I finally found a way around this.
When I am not logged in things seem to go fine but logged in it won't go to locality pages, just hangs up.
I found that if I go to my page to add a photo and use my personal add photo it goes smoothly but if I try to go to the location it won't go there.
Fortunately I found a different way that seems to work normally.
Hope that this can be fixed since it is boring to sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting for a page to open and then nothing happens.
If anyone else is having this same problem, to add photos, try using your personal page to add photos.
Funny things do happen but when I thought it was due to heavy use I tried it again very early this morning and same thing so it is probably not that.

I am still having the same problem; two hours ago I could not get into the locality pages while logged in. I just tried again and got right in.
