mysql went away....

[DarkAngel612]

what does that error mean:

Database Error: MySQL server has gone away
File: /home/thefanta/public_html/attic/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 631

We have been getting this a lot lately (past 3-4 days) it is starting to get very annoying...lol Along with what seems to be forever loading pages.

I can get it while going from forum to forum, replying to topics, sending mass pm's or even replying to a pm.

If I open a new window and go to the page I see the pm has been sent but the first page appears to still be in the process of sending.

I am asking here and the smf place but they  don't always answer very soon. What do I need to do...reload all the files and reinstall/apply the mods?

this is at the fantasy attic link

It means your host have issues with the sql connection on the server your on.
Contact your host about this issue and ask them to check it for you.

well the other day I contacted them for the slowness we are having and they did say that the server had node issues so I guess they need to go beat it up again..ty
