    At a guess id say the server is overloaded and the mySQL db is probably not optimised for so many MSE users :p

    LOL!!! I thought it was just me. Had a real moan at hubby last night because he messed about installing something new (and he knows even less than me about PC's).
    He was on it after I went to bed, till about 2am trying to 'Fix it'.....................I'd best own up later when he gets in from work .............oh dear!!!!

    We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars........................

    Yeah, these forums are pretty big now.

    Maybe a cluster is needed, or the coding/sql statements need to be optimized. Per page a lot of database data is pulled off, and a lot of requests are being made, looks like the server can't cope.
