There seems to be something corrupting the tables.  It's not us as far as I can tell, so I'll ask the host to investigate.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

Yeah, I got a DB error when I tried to post this morning too but refreshing the page and trying again worked.

It must have been when the problem resolved. It lasted for at least 40 min.

The problem didn't resolve by itself as the errors had corrupted an important database table.  I fixed that and got us working again but I am keen to know just what caused the problem in the first place.

Please report any other glitches.

That must have been at exactly the same time as I was fixing it as originally it was on line 2932, but as I fixed one bit of code it just moved somewhere else.

In the end it was the table that was borked and had to be fixed.

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
random error for me at the moment

I actually caught it once yesterday as well.  I investigated and nothing looked wrong at that point, but now I have another report I'll keep an eye on the server.

A few minutes ago I got "Connection problems" but I refreshed and everything was OK.

I've been getting the SMF error a few times tonight.  Once was in the "Name that Movie" thread at 1:08am EST.  At 3:02am EST, again I got it when I clicked on my bookmark to the fora, which points to the "Show new replies to your posts" (https://fora.demonoid.me/index.php?action=unreadreplies ) link.

...And 3 times again at 3:04am EST as I attempted to post this.

This is a very strange error as the server looks completely healthy.  It is affecting other sites so it isn't the forum that's broken (that's the good news), but I have yet to get any kind of handle on the error either from the main host or from our logs.

It is being worked on though and I'll keep us updated.

I'm getting this one on occasion at the moment.
