Is anyone else having the ocassional problem brining up this new site? I thought it was maybe my work internet, but now it just happend from home too. I get the following error when trying to hit this site. If I keep hitting refresh, it eventually gets past the error. What's the deal??

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/ironmag/public_html/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

It's never actually happened to me, but I get the e-mails when it happens on the site. I received 4 today all at the same time, so that must have been you.

So, far I've only seen it happen a few times per day. Which considering the traffic, that's not too bad.

On the old site, at times you would just get a blank page, the old 404 error page.

I cannot do anything. It's the web host.
