That error message means that the database has refused to accept a connection from the website because there are too many connections already in use.
I'll investigate.

Until recently, I only ever saw that message on another forum where the admin is done on a very piecemeal basis. On there, it means that the forum is down for several days till it's fixed. I seem to see it quite often on here now, probably making more impression on me because of that other experience, although a second attempt seems to succeed, so it's probably a borderline situation.

Was it not investigated when previously reported?

This has just happened to me with the mould on cotton duck thread. It happened three times in a few minutes: twice when I tried to access it from the Unread posts" screen and then when I tried via "Your posts."

It seems to be affected by browser. It happens to me occasionally when I am using Explorer, but I don't think I've ever had it happen when I am using Firefox.

Happens to me on Firefox.

That's odd, there is 3.9G of free space on the server. Must have been something temporarily taking up masses of space...

Re: General error accessing new posts
Found the problem. The system log file rotating (house-keeping) was failing, so slowly but surely the disk was filling up. Then a database backup (quite probably the Forum) used up all remaining space before deleting earlier backups.
I've fixed the log rotation, so log files won't grow forever any more.
I've also tweaked the backup script to delete old backups before backing up the current database state.
