Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

After i get a list of 50 pictures, and then it won't let me get them back.

Hmm... To be honest, i've never had this problem...

This happens from time to time when the server is loaded with a lot of requests. I don't know the intimate details (as I never ran a SMF forum myself) but my experience running a variety of other servers (including a Wiki site, a Database front-end phpAdmin, and my own PHP applications) lead me to conclude that database-back end connections are a limited resource and if many users are requesting a page simultaneously then there may be occasions when requests cannot be replied to in a timely manner.

I saw that a bunch of times too recently.
