An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.
WHAT is this and WHY does it keep happening? "Anyone? Anyone?" At first it was only once a month or so, which wasn't a nuisance, but now I fight it 95% of the time I try checking out the board, whether it be on my PC or my iPod. And I know others have been having issues with it as well. It's really starting to get on my nerves, and I'm hoping it isn't deterring people away (especially from the RPG and they can't post or have to wait until it starts working again).
The last few days I haven't been getting as many of these error codes as I did about a week ago (when it was quite intolerable, quite frankly).
The cause, honestly, is a bit of a mystery. The message doesn't give much clue in itself, essentially saying it could be either a coding error or a server error. Since Warwulf insists he has not touched the code for a while and it was working just fine back when he did, I'm leaning more towards it being an issue with the new server host.
It must be like what Phoenix said a problem with the new server host. It does get annoying when you want to log off or post then all of a sudden that error message messes you up. Bah!
I have gotten the error too. Usually I just go do something else and try again at a later time and I can usually get on when I try again.
It does say "too many connections" so maybe it has something to do with the amount of people on the forums at one time. Perhaps the SQL server can't handle so much traffic at once.
There might be more info on phpbb.com. They have a web forum where people post problems that they have been having with their websites that use phpbb software. I googled the error message and there seem to be a lot of people who have had this same problem. The posts I found were pretty old though.....Warwulf might want to try to find some more recent ones. Anyway, it sounds like a lot of people found it had something to do with the phpbb software.....a lot of posts were suggesting talking directly to your host/server company (or whatever) to troubleshoot.

I was wondering if it was just me that was receiving those messages. I thought it was my laptop, but it's brand new, and I'm running windows 8. Sure I'm on internet explorer, but still I didn't think that could be it. Glad to know I wasn't the only one getting these messages. I was getting these at least once a day for at least 3 days about 2 weeks ago.
