Unable to connect to database server, please try again in a few minutes.
Over the last week ive had a server from hell and support to match, but dare i say its coming back to stable now.
Anyways,
one part of my nightmare mysql was broken.
and all i could see on the forums was
Unable to connect to database server, please try again in a few minutes.
What i really wanted to change that to was link, to a status page, i tried the language files, nothing, so Rick you must have it tucked away in another file somewhere.
As my webserver was fine, and i couldnt leave any info for members who kept coming back to see the same info, in a few mins.
They did say if that's your few mins, your missus must love you 
In the end i threw up a ubbthread.php file of my own.
