Running into mySQL problems.

[Erik]

I'm running into this problem which is bringing down my boards completely.

Warning: MySQL: Unable to save result set in admin/db_mysql.php on line 69

In this past this has been due to my host's MySQL server being down.

One of their sys admins said it was down earlier this morning but has been fixed and should be working fine now. Obviously it's not.

I just want to be sure (as I nearly am) that this is not something new which suddenly sprang up from my end.

When you get these errors, try doing a "View Source" command, there should be more information in there on the exact problem that is occuring. If you could post this, we might be able to find the cause of the problem.

ok, thanks. In this case it did turn out to be the database. I harrassed my provider into telling me they'd taken it down for work, but they still won't tell me what changes they make when they do that...

...not sure how much longer I'm going to continue utilizing them.

Well if you want some suggestions on some better hosting providers, feel free to head on over to the Hosting forums.... alot of talk there about the best and worst providers.
