    Did anyone experience any problems on the site or receive an error page as above (or a backing up message) at around 7:40 AM GMT-0 this morning?

    Too many simultaneous commands/connections were sent to/made with the server, I'm just wondering whether this was a hiccup or a sign for a bigger hosting plan.

    Thanks,

    Grey

    That could be a good thing....I don't know how that's handled, but I'm sure the admins have it well covered.

    Nope. I've had no problems on my end yet. I have noticed, however, that the site has been running slower than usual at times. I often find myself having to click on a link multiple times to get it to finally load or else it'll just hang. I guess Everypony is becoming even bigger.

    This appears to be getting worse, action might have to be undertaken!

    I've noticed this lately as well, and I've also had to click links a few times before they load, too.

    As for the database errors, this has been happening to me quite a few times already.

    I've noticed that site is slow lately, and sometimes just crashes, and gives me database error. usually during day (Europe time)

    Affirmative. Just recently, the page showed me a database error. I had to refresh several times. In fact it started doing that today.

    This happened once in a while for me. Lets wait and see until you decide what to do next.

    Hm, the amount of errors I get is increasing. I think once I got a string of three.

    either do what Bounty said or just exit out of the tab that the forums are in, if you have it in a tab like I do, and then just come back in again always works for me

    Sometimes it persists when I do that. Rarely, but it has happened.
