Professional Polls need professional error strings
November 12, 2009 (mid-morning)
Got this fairly vague error today at ProProfs.com. It is nice that it says there is an error and provides a link to try again, but pro peeps need better pro errors.
IPS Driver Error
There appears to be an error with the database.

Yes, you are totally right. We need to do a better job on this. The error message is from Invision, the popular forum software that constitutes our login system. We integrated using a third party API that is not able to scale to our fast growth and size. We are currently working on new login system that removes the API .. will be live in about 2 weeks. Site would be much faster then and this error would not occur. Would be great if you would consider letting your followers on twitter know - its work in progress and will be live soon. Rest assured, we are listening and working on making the tool better & better. Thanks, again for the feedback.
