At times, when I try accessing the site, or viewing an ignored persons post I get the following error message:

Warning: Too many connections in /home/httpd/vhosts/helponthe.net/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Too many connections in /home/httpd/vhosts/helponthe.net/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40

No worries... whenever you get an error, be sure to check that status site first -- and remember to check it a few minutes later if the problem persists, as it often takes me a few minutes of trying to fix the problem before I spend time updating status.

But, as always, thanks for reporting the problem anyway -- after all, if I don't know there's a problem, I can't fix it.

OK.
