FYI, the forums are returning the following to about 50% of requests:
| Code: | Warning: pg_connect() [function.pg-connect]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Connection timed out Is the server running on host "thales" (198.178.117.175) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/gixen/forum/db/postgres7.php on line 79
phpBB : Critical Error
Could not connect to the database |

Yes, that has been happening for a few weeks now... Mario is aware of the issue of connecting to the database that contains only the posts and, I believe, has a plan in place to migrate it to a new more accessible location in the near future.
Fortunately, I am also led to believe that, this database is the only aspect of the site that is currently affected and that the more important function of entering/scheduling snipes, updating snipes and submitting bids to Ebay in the last seconds of the auctions are not affected by this issue.

This is true, it's only the forum that's affected. The hosting provider of this location will be updating their switches in a few days - I will wait for this to see if it resolves the issue before moving forum away.
Both main and mirror are elsewhere, so sniping is not affected by this. |

The new switches do seem to have resolved this issue... at least they have for me.
Please let me/us know if that is not the case universally.

| Thank you for confirming Mark, please let me know if you see even a single failure in the future. I will monitor it for several days myself. |
