I believe it means the database was down, pretty much.  Why it was down could be several reasons.
Would be nice if browsers had a special back button option which went back to how the page was before you clicked a link, rather than back to how it was when the page was loaded.

That's happened to me in the past. The thing is to hit Reload instead of Back.

There ain't no going back.

I'll echo what Procrastinator said.  Reload usually works, as it's usually just a temporary glitch.  Back will mean starting from scratch.  I had one of these messages earlier this week, but it got the data through a few seconds later.

I had the same yesterday as well after trying to submit my puzzle. But it also happened when trying to access the leaderboard page.

Theoretically I've changed the message now so that it tells you to try refresh/reload instead of back...
