Lately I have been experiencing an intermittent problem when trying to access the 2005 forums. It happened last night around 9:30pm EST. When I tried to open the forums I got an error page showing a bunch of MYSQL statements, and an error about too many connections being opened at the same time. Last night it lasted for over an hour. Anyone else have these issues ?

It is caused by there simply being too much traffic for the server to handle. That's why you see the Donation link in my signature. Please let me know if you have a lead on a company that might want to advertise here.

I have Norton firewall. sometimes I have to uninstall, then install again to get things to work. Don't ask me why. Computers?

[It's funny, everytime it happens I think that there must be some big, late breaking news that was released, and that the site is so busy that it shuts down connections.

If you get the error message, rest assured I am on my way to my computer to initiate a reboot. Wait 15 minutes after the first error message and it will probably be back up. Unless its between 12am-5am CST, it will be about 30mins because my cellphone (which is the last notification) will wake me up so I can reboot it.

Whenever that white screen appears, I descend, Orpheus* like, into depression and have to mooch around other sites until this one comes back up, then everything is ok again!
(* quiz question, who did Opheus rescue from the underworld?)

I get the same thing alot, and figured it was just because the site is so popular and so many people are awaiting news on the 05s hittin the lots.
I'm a Super Stallion and donated, and hope everyone else does too! Well worth it to keep this site going.
Hopefully some of the companies who'll make aftermarket stuff will realize the potential for the audience they can reach here by advertising on the site.

If it is XP, try this...
Click on Start then Run
A new window pops up. Type in cmd and click OK.
The DOS emulation prompt pops up.
At the prompt type this phrase exactly without quotes:
"ipconfig /flushdns"
Now restart the computer and try the forums.
