Hi All,

It seems that we're having some intermittent issues with the access to the database behind the website. For me this has presented itself as a screen showing a vBulletin error message. Looking into this as best I can (I'm in a field in Yorkshire at the moment) it seems that the database is being swamped with connections and is simply refusing additional connections above a certain number. This is, in itself, normal except that the number of connections at which this happens should be way above the normal number of connections which the database should be seeing at any single point in time.

The fact that I can post this means that all is not lost (so no need to act like Corporal Jones just yet), I'll be home in the next few days and have a more detailed look into things.

Regards,
Jeff
