For info... just got this message on clicking on 'forum'.  Happened 3 times before it would let me in.

Hi

Did it clear itself after a short period?

I just kept trying to access in the space of a minute or so and then it let me in.  No problems since.

Took me 4 attempts to get in.

Got this message a few minutes ago.

There seems to be a delay of some 15 - 20 seconds between selecting the page to view and the error message appearing. The progress bar seems to stick half way along the www. cockers online bit when loading the page then either the page loads ok or the error message appears.

Bob.

There will have been a few errors today, mostly along the lines of

Quote
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'


Nothing to worry about, just me changing some code on the templates. Should be ok now.
