Is this happening a lot? I've only had one anytime recently that I can remember.

I've had a few, but nothing terrible.

Dude, I am the host nowadays,
. We run on a dedicated server, which also means the service provider goes 'well fuck you, you're on your own', .This also means I get to dive into error logs and such to see if I can figure out the problem. Woo!
edit: Haven't found anything yet. I haven't seen the errors occurring myself either. If it happens again, could you write up the exact~ish time it occurs? Minute is fine. I tried reducing the amount of logged errors, at least.
btw Fangu, I'm getting a warning about a missing 4th argument for the new_except_firstpreview() function, just so you know.

Nowadays? I thought you were always the host, Yop.

Hm. Well that kinda depends on your definition of 'host'. I've always been the owner of the site, but the servers it's been hosted on over time have varied. Up until a year ago, we mostly used shared hosting - that is, you get a readily set-up server with all the software at your disposal. The downside of that is that you share the same server with a bunch of other sites, and often you're limited in terms of how much CPU power and stuff you can draw from that shared server - this had led to problems in the past. But, it's cheap - our first host was about 30 euros / about $35-$40 a year, second and third was about double that iirc.
About a year ago, same problems again (I believe) and I said fuck it and went for dedicated hosting. First was 'virtual' dedicated hosting, where you get a virtual machine (again, shared with a bunch of other people, but completely isolated so you can install your own software and do all the things), but it wasn't nearly strong enough (not enough memory, mainly), so I upgraded a couple of months later to a true dedicated machine; there's a server with our name on it somewhere in an anonymous datacenter, <3.
The downside of that is you still rely on the hosting party to help with hardware problems (which we had a few months ago, hard drive failure (or well, luckily, just the connector)), and you're completely on your own with anything but the default setup as well. Which means lots of commandline tinkering, which is fun,.

Okay so this is the only function I flat out borrowed, from here. The complete header is function new_excerpt_firstpreview($id, $excerpt_length, $ending, $superending). It's called only once, from echo_first_post_preview($id), where it's called as new_excerpt_firstpreview($id, 20, '...')).
If this is just a warning, or does it show up as an error? If the latter (or if you insist) I can rewrite new_excerpt_preview to not take in that last parameter. We don't need it for the way we're using excerpts anyway.

This is really getting irksome; the forum is sometimes down for ten minutes at a time or more now. It's only this site too and it happens even when I'm on my phone away from home, so I'm sure it's not just a problem with my connection. Anything we can do about it?
The last time it happened was 9:35-9:45ish my time (GMT-5 I believe)

Yop said he can't see anything specific from the log. But we know it's something. It usually starts around midnight for me and goes on for a few hours. It's not nearly as bad as it was on the old server, but it's getting worse.
Edit: Wait, happened at 15:15 my time and was gone for 4 minutes.
