I was getting this message a lot earlier today:
Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
Approx. 06:15am central time in case the logs show something..
False alarm or have we been more popular than usual lately? :)

Perhaps backup time, or some other event. TBH I don't remember what time they are scheduled (especially in terms of EDT, CDT, WTF - I know they are around 1 p.m. my time), but they do occasionally load the system enough for the forum to stop working. 15 minutes past a full hour looks more or less correct.
Please report if it happens more often.
How long did it take? Shouldn't be longer than a few minutes.

Ok, I'll let you know. Not sure how long it was down. I gave up in like a minute.

And that you can expect on a daily basis.
