Back to the "connection problems" reports tonight. Usual delay before it chucks up the error screen but back on in a couple of minutes.

Still happening on a fairly regular basis. Taken to copying any posts I'm composing for when everything grinds to a halt. The record so far for "Fetching preview" is over seven minutes, then it threw a strop and told me to try later.

Sometimes there seems to be a general slowing down even when there are only about a dozen members online. Then it either clears itself and works perfectly for a while or everything goes pear shaped, the forum page disappears and I'm told to try again later.

Thought the super duper new server was supposed to correct these problems.

Bob.

I'm still having the same problem too. Almost every time I go to post a reply it won't do it initially and seems to freeze, then comes up with a connection error message. Once it's done that I can try posting again and it does it immediately!

Are there any error messages displayed during these episodes or is it just the forum freezing/hanging?

Ok, if we could get some exact wording or screenshots of any errors that'd be helpful. Have got the server chaps looking into this.

I get a white page with this message at the top of the page...

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

Sometimes it appears immediately but usually appears after the forum page becomes inactive for a time (Freezes).

Same here. I usually get it when I press post to reply to a post. it doesn't seem to make any difference if it's just a one liner or if it's a reply that's taken me ages to compose and type.

I have had the same message several times for the last few weeks.

Sometimes it us when I am just trying to read posts and not even replying

Constantly happening when clicking on new posts since last login

Just took about five minutes to clear there.
