I?ve had the same problem but seems to be ok now.
It has taken me almost 20 minutes to log in today. If you have somehow managed to log in then I have the following message from the hosts.
'Database Error'
The database has encountered a problem.
The boards.footymad.net forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
It looks as though patience is called for while the problem is rectified and hopefully normal service is resumed soon.
