Some times when I go to this site, it says that it can't connect to this site then shows an error message. I was just wondering if this happens to anyone else, or if its just my connection?

Edit; This is exactally what it says; phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

yeah its been getting on my nerves along with the forum not loading correctly, its not a hacker and no one is messing with the php code so we figure it must be the site host. i talked to animal about them and he sent them an email, that was yesterday so hopefully they'll give us a response, the sooner the better. i found that if you wait a few minutes then try logging on that it lets you on.

That error is as old as the board itself. I remember seeing it three days after first registering.

no doubt its been going on for years but lately it seems to be a constant problem...hopefully the host lets us know if its them and if its not hopefully asmo can mess around with some of the coding.

that fake error message (the really long one) will have been set by asmodeus and animal

Guys, another thing to take into aspect is HOW BIG the Database probably is, and the last time it was optimized (probably never) and how many users connect at one time and the site's traffic.

That can make a big diff.
