I'm getting a lot of CANNOT CONNECT TO DATABASE errors lately. They usually go away after a few minutes.

FYI.

I'll try to remember to post the exact message into here. I dunno if anyone else is getting this too.
"It's only as boring as you make it."

You're making me want to poke my eyes out with a spoon. Stop that.

I'll try to be a good Brooklynian and pay closer attention.

The webhost was queried about this Wednesday. They said the server went unresponsive and they rebooted.

I've been getting fucktons of these the last week or so, but haven't bothered to post it. Sorry. Just now got a good one that I haven't seen before though:

I just got one...
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

This only happens when I use IE, never happens when I use Firefox
But that's impossible.

I've definitely gotten that one on Firefox and Opera.

And I can't quote because I broke this thread's right side with my quote above.

Do I get extra points for breaking a thread about broken stuff?

I know you did something with the database yesterday DH, so I thought I would mention that I just got one of these (CANNOT CONNECT TO DATABASE) again. It wasn't persistent though.

Thanks. CANNOT CONNECT usually and commonly happens at high server load.
"Cannot insert search results" was a new one and hopefully the database repair worked.

Hey look, this page is broken!
