Forum problems

Has anyone else received the "Sever is too busy to handle requests" error lately, or is it just me? With my luck, it seems to happen the most when I am posting a reply to a thread, I get the error and my post vanishes into thin air :D

gotten it about 15 - 20 times in the last hour

All the time, just hit the back button, copy and then paste when it allows you too.

Must be a setting I have set in my browser as that does not work for me.

"Its a feature, not a bug".

The forum monitors the forums CPU load and once it reaches a certain load, it starts throttling users.

Its a case of:
"Let everyone on the forums and have the server overload resulting in noone being able to use it"

OR

"Limit the new people so some people can still use it".

I took the second option. I bumped up the CPU limit a bit so we'll see how that goes. Its a balance between accessibility and load.

I've only had it to do this one time when trying to access the site through tappatalk. I've never had it happen to me in a PC though. After seeing Bryce's post, it tells me that technibble is definitely growing and will be around for a long time :)

I guess the forum is growing and getting popular :)
Thanks for the update Bryce.

What if you disable the "Who's Online" feature? I don't use that feature but doesn't that use quite a bit of resources and disabling would help?
