Not sure if it's just me, but I keep getting the following message on a blank screen when I click links in the MB:

"phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database "

Usually I can hit refresh to overcome it, but not everytime.

You're the man Matt. (I wouldn't normally reply with such a small message, but now that we are competing over the most number of threads, expect a lot of useless posts from me... :) )

Today December 22, 2005 around Noon (central time) I was recieving this same Message (critical error phpBB - could not connect to database) The message came up when I tried to access www.uslia.com or any of its sublinks (i.e. forums.uslia.com & etc. ) At first I thought it was on my end but I sucessfully loaded three browsers with other webpages. Just letting you know. After about 45 min. I was able to access the site.

Usually thats just the server being overloaded at the time. That's my guess. It really happened the day the last div. A polls came out.

Alot of people on the site = kabloooom

p.s. get a premium membership and help pay for the servers :D
