Okay, I was just making another post on WP, and then when I clicked Submit, instead of getting the usual "Your message has been posted", I got this:

[picture removed by admin for security reasons]

Judging by what it says, it lost connection with the server. This isn't new, my modem disconnects all the time, but it has never done this before.

Just wondering.

Nothing is wrong with your connection: when you tried to post something, the site itself was being worked on. Simple maintenance issue, not your fault :) Alex should have fixed it fairly quickly.

Heheh, wow, I thought I had somehow entered debug mode by accident! Even if I did, I wouldn't have screwed aroud with the site...

He is online right now. Perhaps he might be able to explain it.

Well you couldn't really change anything with the database being down... :-P

Anyway, cheesecheese is right. You lost connection because I was restarting the mysql server so it would use a new optimized configuration file to speed the site up when posting things.

Let's hope I don't get that module.php problem anymore! That can drive me up the wall and through the roof!
