Thread: The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

Is it just me or is everyone getting hammered (token wood content) by this message, only 35 users on the last time.

It is just me, isn't it .. isn't it, and people call me paranoid, LISTEN people it's not paranoia if it's TRUE.

sorry couldn't reach the medication in time

No I have been getting the same errors at times even with broad band ... I though it was just a message from the computer asking me to get off for once. It may also happen when multiple people are trying to access the same page at the exact same time. You may have to put up with it unless you want to put your hand in your pocket and help Neil finance a new provider/server/board.

Slow Stinky.

Simple solution guys, dont work during the day and get on then. Never seen the busy server message myself!!

I'm only on during business hours, free broadband

With wife and kids at home I'm lucky to sit down, let alone log on!

Like I said I'm at work so my only other option is .... work, and to be honest I'd prefer not to

The BB averages around 25 hits per minute per month, however there are times when this is much lower and times when it is much higher. Our best recorder was 267 for one minute with a peak recording of 12 in a 1 second period. This was about 6 months ago.

Our server seems to be able to handle it really well. Often it is yours that is the problem not ours. Especially if you are on a really big one with lots if traffic or a really small one with no brain.

It may say there are only 35 users on line but the truth of the matter is that there could be many more as not all users are visible when browsing the board.

In the 4 and a bit years the BB has been running I have never received that message. I have had lots of others but never that one.

Cheers - Neil

Never seen it from either home or work.

OK I just got the message. I'll check in with the host ISP tomorrow to see why it is happening. Will keep you posted.

Neil :mad:

I have been getting it quite regularly over the last couple of weeks too. The "server busy" message that is !

Same here.

wonder if it is a cyclic thing.

The server tells you thats its busy, thus making the server busier thus requiring the need to tell you that the server is busy, thus making the server busier thus requiring the need to tell you that the server is busy, thus making the server busierthus requiring the need to tell you that the server is busy, thus making the server busier ...........................you get the point!!

What a clever server, making work to ensure its continuing employment.

This has been appearing for several hours now. It really is becoming a pest. Any news on a solution ??
(I note there are only two members, but 26 guests on the board at this time. Is that "normal"?)

This is not good enough .... why should I have to wait to sponge information out of other woodworkers? I pay my dues ... I occasionally need to replace some EEE or Shellawax ... and all I ask in return is to have a forum where I can access quality information at my fingertips 24 hours a day without waiting. Now tell me is this too much to ask ... or should I start to look elsewhere?

Stinky


Just incase you missed it this is my sick sarcastic humor shining through again .... I think we all take this board a little for granted at times and we should stop and think how lucky we are to have such a great forum at such a great price ... but really Neil you should find a solution to the problem.

Neil,

I have also been getting the message for the last 2 hours and could not get on. I needed to bore some more people with Dust Collection BS
