Keep getting a lot of SQL errors today.

Anyone else ?

No

I did have one yesterday afternoon, but it's been fine since, hopefully just a small blip.

I have had several so far today, it seems to be when swiping/clicking back from any particular topic back to the Active Topics page, if I scroll back to the top and click View Active Topics it works just fine.

I've just had another one - will make Pete aware.

Can you post the error here and I'll take a look

Error message

Ok, my assumption (given the error type and the fact it only happens from time to time) is it's a 'too many connections' error which happens at busy times when the forum script can't get a response from the database. I suspect it may be down to Google & Bing bots' insatiable desire to index the site constantly. Looking at the logs, they're both using more resources than actual users! I'll look into ways I can reduce their visiting speed. In the meantime, if you get the error, leave it a minute and try again.
