Error Messages tonight

Hi Admin

Are there more than me getting strange error messages as undernoted stopping us viewing or posting on the site? here's 1/2 received tonight.
Having seen the team crash today I was not aware the website was out in sympathy!

Whassup?

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

MySQL server has gone away [2006]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Getting the same errors too and I am not impressed. I pay for this hosting, so outages on a low traffic forum like this is pretty unacceptable. I've sent a message to my webhost, so hopefully they will pull the finger out and it the forum will go back to being reliable. Cheers for the message confirming that it's not just affecting me!

Happening to me too, and I assumed it was because we've got .. wait, gosh, about 20 users browsing the forum?

I assumed it was free hosting. Well done paying for it admin, but you deserve better for your money.

If you pay for this; have you ever thought of asking for contributions (maybe via Pap pal?) only fair that the users pay for the privilage (might even out some people off ).

Maybe the repeated topics with the same message and posts are confusing the server ?

Now that is a worthwhile post for two good reasons!!!

No worries on the paying thing, I don't mind doing so - it's only about £30 a year including the domain. I enjoy the forum and I am on the other side of the Atlantic, so without it I wouldn't have nearly so much Accies stuff to read.

I only mentioned it since if the forum was using a free host, then it would be what it is. But since the hosting is paid for, I would expect the service to be rock solid.

Well that's very kind of you. Thanks.

Not had any error messages yet but lately the site's been running nearly as slow as our defence.

I spend ages typing up a lengthy post about current goings on at the club....at the moment can't be arsed....(like our players),repeating it.

FYI, Admin, site is still running slow @11.25 Zulu! Threads start then stick. Post which have taken time to type oftenwon't preview or submit with a VERY long delay.

We all appreciate your time in running this site, ADMIN, and more so when you say you are on the other side of the Pond. 5+ hours behind us, must be a pain in the a**. Not as bad as seeing yesterday's game though
