It happens to me as well on occasions. It happens when for some reason the database server that drives the forum is not available. It should be a transitory thing and retrying after a few minutes should clear the problem.

Mine too. Sometimes I have not been able to get on for a whole day or have been kicked out half way through.

I am really having trouble accessing this site now. When I do get in I can just about post a couple of things and then I am kicked out. Done all the virus checks etc....any ideas?

zan, I have no idea but its all fine here on my site. Confused

So I don't think its a server problem.
What error message does your Aussie friend get?

For technical details I'm afraid you will have to wait for erolz' answer.

I just had the 'connect to database' problem for about half an hour - have not had a problem for a long time...

I assume the site is hosted on shared hosting possibly with the database on a different server - and that on is maxing out on allowed number of database connections. Most likely it is some other sites on the shared hosting that is overloading the database server. Perhaps it could help to complain a bit to the provider.

Zan it is very hard to say what is going on without more infor. There will be times when the site is unavailble because of load on the server or a problem on the server. Generally these do not last too long. I am not sure why you seem to have more trouble than others. Sorry.

Thanks erolz. I will get more information as it occurs but the last two days have been better.

Hi guys

Erol you have problems mate.

A lot of the times i get page not found and other times i get those critical errors.

These errors last for a long time, sometimes whole days, and when you finally get in and start moving around the site, it comes back.

There is definetely something wrong.

Just got it again, page not found, then i refresh and i get it back, but a lot of the times, it just doesn't come back.

I have no problems with the internet and other websites
