Server Error

Hi, over the last three days I have had nothing but problems logging onto the Forum. The pages won't load and if I'm extremely lucky and can access the forum they load at a snails pace.

Below is the exact error message that I keep getting, hopefully one of your technical team will know what is causing the problem!

I have managed to log on today for the first time by using an old thread through google.

I would be grateful if someone can advise me why I keep getting this error message.

One of the technical team may have to e-mail me with a solution! as I may not be able to access the responses through this thread.

Regards Buzzard
