Hi Paul, I keep getting this rather annoying error message, can anything be done to fix it?

I'm on the case with the hosting company...

Still getting this message frequently and getting a tad annoying.

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

MySQL server has gone away [2006]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Thanks for sorting it all out Paul.

Fault still persists.....

It looks like we are under a Denial of Service attack. I just cleared out 700 new accounts on the site registered this month, with 35 of those registered today before 7:00 AM... not sure how to stop that, other than changing our security question for new account creation.

Thanks for keeping the site working Paul

Hello Paul, what about fronting with a free cloudflare account? https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/plans/

Thanks Simon, I'll look into that.

Cheers,

Paul

The site seems a lot more stable since I changed the registration validation. Is anyone still getting those "MySQL server has gone away" error messages?

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul I had it this afternoon sorry, been happening every couple of visits to the site

You maybe have to clear your cookies?

Try using Chrome 'incognito' mode which should ignore all profile/cookies.

Yes, still a frequent occurrence.

Cheers Al, I’ve tried the delete cookies, I shall report back in a couple of days
