Driver Error when searching forums

[AaronOfMpls]

Today, whenever I try to search for anything on the Nexus Forums, I get the following error:

forums.nexusmods.com Driver Error

 

There appears to be an error with the database.

 

If you are seeing this page, it means there was a problem communicating with our database. Sometimes this error is temporary and will go away when you refresh the page. Sometimes the error will need to be fixed by an administrator before the site will become accessible again.

 

You can try to refresh the page by clicking here

← Return to the index

Refreshing the page via F5 only brings up the same error page. Refreshing via that "click here" link only brings me back to the search page, with the warning:

One or all of your search keywords were below 3 characters or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords.

It seems to have started sometime today. Searching the file sites still works fine; it's just the forums that seem to be affected. It happens whether or not I'm logged in, and in both Firefox and IE. Normally I'd check if this has been reported before, but seeing as as how I can't search... :smile:
