We are running version 1.9.3 on SQL Server 2005. The forum appears to be working correctly. However, our users are complaining that they are not getting email notifications when a new post is made to a forum even though they have opted to watch the forum.

In the event log, I see a bunch of identical errors that look like the the message posted below.

I am a little confused about this because I do not think the SQL Server is down that frequently that it would not respond. Mybe this is related to a locked transaction???

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
