Database Connection Problems
« on: September 28, 2016, 12:42:56 pm »
I keep getting an error about not able to connect to the database, please try again later.  A couple of re-freshes will make it work, but it is a bit frustrating.  Anyone else with the problem?

Weird....  I haven't seen it. 

And you would think now that our database is barely used with autotrader moving stuff over, it wouldn't be an issue...

Both this and autotrader . expert were down all morning. At least this works now (autotrader still doesn't, I just click on the link and nothing happens).

Yeah. I thought the forum had been killed off. I panicked.

Connection Problems

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

Happening repeatedly. Refresh eventually clears it.

Just to dispel the conspiracy theories, this forum and autotrader.ca are hosted by entirely different companies on entirely different platforms.

The spate of failures here lately is something we've raised with the supplier.

The failure on Expert Reviews is equally frustrating and beyond what we'd consider acceptable even for a beta site. We've raised that with our supplier too.
