Almost every time I go to load a thread or make a post I get this Error message:

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database


I have tried everything on my side of the internet, so I think it must be a server issue?

Acutally you know what, i think criteek is right.

I was looking at the chat window and it sometimes comes up with code saying too many connections through slot 8 or something like that....

Yeah I noticed the chat windows bit too before.

I think the rip-off server we're paying for is actually really crap value for money!

@ Mattigins: Talk to Chris (33ASY) he has server space in the Brisbane Data Cantre and he has mentioned to me before he could rent it out to you for this site, depending on load etc
