    Guys, just want to make you aware of this new thread for you to report if you see any 'guru meditation' errors: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show....php?t=1999965

    Please do let others know as well and/or report times when other people see these errors in there if they don't do it themselves (with a link to where they've reported it). Thanks

    What does it mean when I get the message:

    "Received an unusual response from Solr. Please try again later."

    When trying to look at a posting history?

    Search function related, probably temporary.

    It was a persons posting history. I got that no matter what way I tried to get there whether it was through their profile or by clicking on their name in a thread and clicking on "view posts." I'll try again and see if it still does that.

    Edit: Still doing it but it seems to be for that one person. Odd really.

    Hmmm strange, who is it?

    We were having problems in the past with Plato's Trousers because of the apostrophe, but that was fixed. Wonder if there's any other gremlins entered the system...

    I got it too, then when I refreshed it said (for a couple of minutes of refreshing) it couldn't connect to the site possibly because the site was down for maintenance
