Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

It usually corrects in a few moments.  Just wanted to let you guys know and see if I was the only one.

I think I got that one, or one similar, when Ms. Jeanne was attempting to change the url.  I haven't seen it since then.  When was the last time you got it?

I get that message occasionally.  Today it's because the server went down AGAIN.  This is the third time this week after I changed the forum software as directed.  I've been told so many different things by tech support I don't know who to believe at this point.   I was told this time that the server needed to be rebooted and it wasn't my fault.  Funny how I change the forum software at their insistence and the server crashes more times in four days than it did in the previous three weeks. 

If this happens a few more times, I'm switching hosting service providers.

I'm still getting it. After a minute I can get in to the forum, but then it happens again later.
