unable to connect to database?
« on: June 03, 2011, 08:20:45 am »
I've got this message 3 times now in the last week or so

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

Any ideas?

The first time it was when I was answering a post.  Today twice was when I was first going on from the book mark in my address bar.  left it 10 minutes when tried again and it came on no problems. 

I have deleted temp files and cookies etc on advice last week.  I just remember this happening ages ago before we started getting the major breakdowns in service.
