Database errors

Hi Editor Bob,

I noticed just a couple of database errors upon loading a page a few minutes ago. The error messages were non-descript with no error ID.

Out of curiousity, what sort of error messages are you seeing in the logs? Database Error: Unable to connect ?

Hi Editor Bob/EF admin team

Been lot's of database errors in the past 48 hrs (randomly trying to connect to threads and to the EF home page - no pattern) and just now the IE "cannot access this page, click here to diagnose problem".

What's up?

I have seen the same problem. It usually reloads the second time.

Honestly ...... if computers helped put a man on the moon 40 odd years ago, you'd think they'd be able to cope with a littl' ol' forum.

I have to leave it 5 mins & come back... I mean can you imagine it, 5 whole minutes without access to EF - my life is meaningless!

Agreed +1 Here.

Also you don't have the ability to send a mail to the administrator anyone, ends up with a blank mail address when you click on the link.

Weirdly I thought Phos was back then

Editor Bob is away at the moment, and we have informed Sweden about the problem who are working on it. Thanks for bearing with it in the interim.

Edit: As we understand it, the server might be undergoing an upgrade to a faster machine around end May.
