General Error
SQL Error
Can't connect to MySQL server on "mysql" (9) [2003]
Error fetching page
Or similar messages?
I get something like this about every other click. Honestly, it's to the point of "why bother?" even though there are people here whose posts I enjoy reading. I'm not having connection difficulties anywhere else. I clean the cache at least once a day, sometimes more. Is there some kind of trick to this or what?
We're aware of it, and yes, you are quite correct, it's a host issue. I don't believe your cache shouldn't matter in this instance. In my rudimentary non-tech understanding, the problem is with the way our host's servers interact with our database. And generally this begins as a problem with the servers, not us.
We are looking into it but I'm going to be direct: both Honeybee and I are extremely busy at the moment, and we're both fighting off whatever bug's been going around in various places. We just don't have the time/energy resources to go digging around in the guts of the site at the moment. As tarheelladync mentioned, reloading usually helps. We understand your frustration because we experience it when we come to enjoy the site ourselves.
Other than that, there's little I can offer you to make it worth your bother until we get some time on our hands and can shift our priorities a little.
