What is going on?

Andy Watson:
I've been seeing it since approximately 17:17 GMT. Almost every other page I try returns that error message.

TimFox:
Similar here.  In fact, when I first tried to reply just now, I got the same smf connection problem response.

It's likely that the forum is handled by two or more web servers and one of them lost its connection to the database. That's why it happens sporadically.

RoGeorge:
Yes, it's happening a lot in the last hours.  Any server problems post in this topic https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/website-error-reports/msg4597752/ will also send a notification email to the server's admin.
