Looks like I was not the only one who has had the following error message appear and an otherwise blank screen appear;

Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL.

The advice, from Psymon was;

Hit Ctrl-F5 to force your browser to fully reload that page.

This fault is both random and intermittent but the back room boys are working on it.

Click or tap on the refresh screen icon in the address bar, in Safari at least. Basically you need to send a refresh screen message to the website however that can be achieved in your particular flavour of browser or device.

Looks like some people may still be getting this error, if it happens to you,

Hit Ctrl-F5 to force your browser to fully reload that page. :yesnod:

I have had to hit Ctrl-F5 quite a few times in the last 10 mins.

It is a known issue and a solution is being worked on. Just in case you get the error remember Ctrl-F5

The last fix turned out not to be so great as it took the site out all together.
Had to restore from backup to get it back on line.

Psymon, running a site this large single-handed is no easy task and your dedication never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for all the hard work you put in so we can enjoy ourselves.

Look forward to meeting you so I can buy you a drink :beer:
