Why Am I Experiencing Connection Issues on PF?

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing frequent database connection and timeout errors when accessing PF, with issues occurring several times daily but lasting only a few minutes. Many have reported similar sporadic problems, particularly in the last few days, possibly linked to ongoing troubleshooting of backup processes that involve frequent reboots. Rebooting clears stored PF sessions in MySQL, which may temporarily alleviate some issues. Additionally, users have noted a logout problem where the return link redirects them to the homepage instead of their previous location. The connection issues and logout problems are still persisting for many users.

[SOLVED] Connection problems

I've been running into a lot of database, connection and net time out errors over the last few days, when connecting to PF. It just lasts a couple minutes, but happens at least a few times a day.

Anyone else had these problems?

Yes, a lot in the last few days.
 
For me the problem has been sporadic, but not in the last few days.
 
We're still troubleshooting some backup processes resulting in a lot of rebooting.
 
Here's one little problem:


when I log out, I get a screen that says something like,'return to the previous page you were viewing'--but when I click it, it takes me to the home page--not the thread, or the forum sub-group I was in.

This is still going on---
