 * It’s being worked on and will return asap.
 * All other threads reporting this will be deleted to save the forums filling like
   they do when this happens 🙂

 * I say we put a button up on this forums page that shows the status of the codex
   so we don’t have to make forum posts about it’s service. 🙂

 * thanks for the update… I always consult the codex before these threads… now, 
   onto finding a solution to my problem without the codex *sigh* if that’s even
   possible!

 * Okay it looks like someone hacked the server through Mediawiki (which runs the
   codex). I’m going through things trying to identify the specific problem, because
   I don’t know of any current vulnerabilities with Mediawiki. It will down until
   we find what the exploit point was.

 * Did it actually run on the most recent version?
    I’m asking because Mantis never
   really did while it was in use… 🙂 Christian

 * what does this mean, and would it have anything to do with this error message
   on my blog:
 * WordPress database error: [Got error 28 from table handler]
    SELECT * FROM wp_posts
   LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta ON wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id WHERE 1=1 AND ((post_status
   = “publish” OR (post_status = “private” AND (wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘post_level’
   AND wp_postmeta.meta_value <= 10 ))) OR post_author = 1 AND post_status != ‘draft’
   AND post_status != ‘static’) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT
   0, 15

 * Brandice, this topic is about a problem with a site hosted on wordpress.org, 
   not WordPress the application. Your error is [this one](http://216.239.63.104/search?q=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fcodex.wordpress.org%2FFAQ_Troubleshooting#MySQL_Error_28).

 * The Codex is the documentation for WP. It’s a wiki. Your error isn’t anything
   to do with the Codex.
 * You probably should start a new thread – your problem’s going to get thoroughly
   buried in here….

 * People can’t even look at the most recent threads.
