Site slow and problems accessing threads

[Mick Mac]

H Paul and Richard,

The site is extremely slow tonight (like pre-broadband days) and the following message appears before finally accessing the threads on the 3rd attempt: -
Warning: mysql_connect(): Lost connection to MySQL server during query in e:\domains\b\boxertrix.com\user\htdocs\phpBB2\db\mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in e:\domains\b\boxertrix.com\user\htdocs\phpBB2\db\mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in e:\domains\b\boxertrix.com\user\htdocs\phpBB2\db\mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

Bummer,

Mick
