This is the error I keep getting sometimes

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.
