Hmmm, okay. 

I've observed that whenever page doesn't load fully, the top brown color of my forum style changes .. it becomes a bit darker .. from milk chocolate to dark chocolate  :)

Songbird the images for the stylesheet (brown) are located on the server that is having the issue right now.
If you are comfortable with editing the stylesheet I can tell you how to edit it so that it wont happen to you again.

Actually my knowledge of stylesheet is so little, i'm just a beginner.  However, this isn't a problem.  It has happened before.  As soon as the server problem is fixed, the original colors return.  Thanks sybil :)

Let me know if you want to fix it as this will help it to not happen to you again ;)
I already edited the css for you and can send it to you via PM and tell you exactly what to do to change it...  Pm me if you decide you want to do so.

your site will be back up
It goes down every now and then
your work will still be there for you

Hey, I was reading this thread and found out that this problem has happened before, but here is my spiel anyway:

Whenever I try to go to my forum that runs SMF, http://usk2.clanservers.com/forum/index, it keeps giving me this error message:
Connection Problems

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.


Is there someone I have to email/tell about this problem? Any help would be great! Thanks!
