Error

i was wondering if anyone else gets this error when accessing this website:

Database Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

i'll click my BTF shortcut and it loads forever ... about 40 secs later i get that message and then when i click the shortcut again the site loads instantaneously and works like a charm. but everytime i open a fresh browser up to access BTF i have to go through the same process over and over. does anyone else get this or have a possible solution? my comp is spyware and virus free and no other site ever displays such error. it only recently started doing this and i can't recall installing any software lately which might have lead to this.

any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

Interesting. I've lost db connection (rarely) once or twice.. Never with a specific query like security.php, let alone every time

Maybe you should stop watching so much internet porn? :p

Like Saleem, it happens here and there to me, but usually refreshing does the trick. Clearly there is another issue at hand for you.

happens to me everytime as well, and i pull the site up using the pop-down history in IE. Also, every page on the site seems to load really slowly compared to any other website, even similarly organized forums.

cookies/security settings are my guess

seems to be bookmarks/history as main entry ways for those with problems. I use firefox and a bookmark and have no issue, it might be that IE doesn't like the auto login for some reason (probably high security setting).

Fiddle around
