morning all
has anybody else having trouble getting on to the pepipoo forum all day yesterday and today i just get an error message. hoping its not just me.

It would be nice if you had given the URL you were trying to reach!

Armed with my trusty Google, I found it at http://www.pepipoo.com/forums/ and the message I got was

IPS Driver Error

There appears to be an error with the database.

I had to Google pepipoo because I'd never heard of it.:)

Home page gives

Database Connection Failed
Error: Too many connections (1040)
Function Performed: CONNECT
Host/DB: localhost/pepipoo_cmsms
Database Type: mysql

I'd guess someone is going to be getting some overtime.

Op do you check the forums before you ask ?
The same question was asked a couple of hours ago.

Thread going in the correct forum since yesterday. Pepipoo is not AFAIK a tecchie site - in the terms of this forum at least.

As nobody else seems prepared to actually give the OP a helpful answer, here is the thread on the Parking board that has been referred to.

Although Pepipoo is not a technical forum I cannot see any issue with asking the question about it's availability on this board, the same as would be appropriate for any other website that someone is having difficulty accessing. OK, there was already a thread elsewhere, but that doesn't mean that answer to the question couldn't be provided on here.

So you don't think my answer to the OP, telling him the "corrupt database" response I got when trying to access the forums, showed him that he was not the only person who could not access them?

Seems OK now by the way

Yes, OK, it was, but you were a bit ungracious in the way you responded - pepipoo is probably one of the websites that is most often recommended on here for people to go to for more advice, so it wasn't unreasonable of the OP to hope that it would be pretty well known across MSE.

There are at least two web sites which can be used to ascertain whether a particular web site is working or not:

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/

Much quicker than asking on here (or on any other forum).
