"CRITICAL ERROR"

Post by Pete.L »

Can anyone tell me what may be the cause of this;
Quite often when changing from one topic to another or trying to change pages or post replys the screen goes white and all that is written is

phpBB:Critcal Error
"could not connect to the database."

This is getting more and more regular in the last week and really getting on my tits. Eventualy if I hit "refresh" enough times the screens come back. Is this a local problem to me or are others experiancing it too?

Pete,

I keep getting it too, thought it may be a problem on the server at work but can't be if others are getting the some problem.

I have no idea what it's about maybe someone else can shed some light on it?????
