[Cliff Rogers]

[jmk89]

I've been getting both responses as well (just affecting this site).

[macca2]

No problems over here in the west.............yet

[munruben]

[Wood Butcher]

Thanks for letting us know but it would also help if you could note what time it happened as well (AEST preferably)

I've learned (the hard way) to pre-write my replies in Notebook or other word processor, so I don't lose the text when/if the connection goes off the rails. Attachments still need to be re-done by hand, but usually don't have attachments in replies.

....note what time it happened as well (AEST preferably)....
I got this tonight at 10:52pm
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

[DakotaGurl]

It is caused by the heated discussions on climate change. :oo:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I've copped quite a few over the last few weeks, but it doesn't seem to be any particular time period to me.

The only "common" thing about the occurrences seem to be that, for me, they occur at around 20mins past the hour (AEST), almost any hour, so I've been assuming they're periodic maintenance loads on the server. :shrug:

I'm probably wildly off base though. Not that that'd be anything new.

[Waldo]

G'day,


I'm probably wildly off base though. Not that that'd be anything new.

Who's on first base? :? :stooges:

:shrug: happens to me too, the server telling me I can't get in, but you get that in life :D

I get the server is down bit, hit the refresh on your browser etc.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Been getting "The Server is busy" for the last 10 mins or so... from 15:25 'til just then. (15:34)

[K_S]

I've copped a few "server too busy" responses;
plus several login rejections - "you have entered the wrong name or password".
Now k_s is not too hard to spell and my browser remembers my password - so?????????

[Cliff Rogers]

I got this tonight at 10:52pm

Happened at 9:48pm tonight.... page refresh fixed it.

[Cliff Rogers]

I got this tonight at 10:52pm

And again this morning at 9:27am, again, refresh fixed it.

[Gumby]

It hasn't happened to me since I started this thread. Maybe that's another fix :?

No, you are still the calcivirus of the Forums. :D

[Cliff Rogers]

[Honorary Bloke]

At 9:52 AM Melbourne Time, I received a message that the server was "too busy." Just reporting.

[Big Shed]

Same here, hitting Refresh fixed it.

[martrix]

from about 11:00 last night and from about 10:30 this morning, the site is as slow as mud.......other sites are working fine.

Pages barely load.......:~

[Groggy]

Same here, hitting Refresh fixed it.same for me.

[Honorary Bloke]

FWIW, at 9:39 PM Melbourne time I got The Server is Too Busy. At 9:50 PM it changed to Database Error. At 10:00 back to Server is Too Busy. At 10:03 managed to get back on the Forum.

[Cliff Rogers]

Yeap, you almost got it right. :D
In the meantime, I was doing a search for the problems caused by Suscon Blue if it is used on grazing land.... Do I need to get a life too? :p

There must be a problem somewhere.

(I've sent Steve a link to this thread)

[DJ’s Timber]

I got it tonight too, had to go and prepare dinner whilst waiting for it to come back on

[Groggy]

Server Busy: Started at 5:25pm and finished at 5:33pm, I'm on Internode.

Can I suggest that when you notice it you provide similar information to help Steve track this one down.

[Honorary Bloke]

Server too busy at 9:38 pm Melbourne time and back on again at 9:46 p.m. :(

Soon as I posted this it went back off 9:48 pm w/ Database Error message and only back on at 10:19 pm.

[chrisb691]

[Groggy]

Server Busy: 10:00 till 10:20 Melbourne time.

[Interwood]

Its happening here too ... but then we are on the other side of the Continent.

Interwood

PS Taken another 10 minutes to post message

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Server Busy: 10:00 till 10:20 Melbourne time.

Yup. I logged in just after 10 and was redirected to the Server Is Busy page. Wouldn't have minded so much, except it had logged me in and I didn't want to lose my "New Posts" list, so I had to wait until around 10:20ish...

[Gumby]

I tried at 9.48 and got this one....:(

[Gumby]

I got a reply from Steve about these issues and some tweaking of the dials has been done. The mice have been replaced as well, just in case.:D

He's hoping it's fixed.

:)

No problems here tonight

[Cliff Rogers]

Thanks Gumby, I hadn't thought of that.... I had to hang up first so I could connect & it seems to be heaps better now. :2tsup:

[Cliff Rogers]

Server busy message tonight, started at 9:39 didn't come back til 9:46

[felixe]

Same down here in Brisbane with my connection, it dropped off 5 minutes ago "server too busy" and just came back online.

[Honorary Bloke]

Ditto. Lost it at 9:38 and just came back at 9:59-ish.

[Big Shed]

And the same here in cold Central Victoria, we must all be connected to the same server:D

[Groggy]

Ditto. Lost it at 9:38 and just came back at 9:59-ish.
and other one here.

[Groggy]

Response from the boss is that he is looking into it.

[Honorary Bloke]

Again tonight. 9:40 to 10:00-ish. Seems to happen at about the same time every time. :?

[Cliff Rogers]

Yeah, about 9:50 till almost 10 pm.

[DavidG]

Ditto

[Barry_White]

I'ts a bit like me I think it gets tired after working all day and has a little rest.

[Honorary Bloke]

By the form book it should go out in about 20 minutes. We'll see. :rolleyes:

[DJ’s Timber]

By the form book it should go out in about 20 minutes. We'll see. :rolleyes:

You weren't far off it Bob, I got server too busy from about 9.27pm till about 9.35pm

[Big Shed]

Same here, I reckon he's hit the big switch, that's why he could predict it!:oo:

[Groggy]

I logged in from Canberra tonight and got a server busy at 9:30pm

[Honorary Bloke]

Same here, I reckon he's hit the big switch, that's why he could predict it!:oo:

Alright you lot, I've switched it back on, but see that you behave! :rolleyes: :D :D

[soundman]

So if it it 930 here what time is it in the US.
Is it a scheduled back up, of coinciding with open of business somewhere.

cheers

[Cliff Rogers]

Started going slow at about 9:25 pm I could read but I couldn’t post or reply & then, by 9:30 pm, I couldn’t read any longer either.

[Honorary Bloke]

cheers

It would be 7:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time. Nothing particularly magic. :)

[Honorary Bloke]

Well, the Server Too Busy train pulled into the station right on time tonight, at 9:38 and left for parts unknown on schedule at 10:05. :D

All aboard, please. :wink:

[Big Shed]

Yep, and was I glad I did my last post in my editor and not in the forum editor. Otherwise another lot of typing would have gone into a black hole!:(

[Tonyz]

At least its comming as a surprise anymore:- sorry couldny resist. Iam sureyour busting gas to sort this problem out and we appreciate it. Esp we you cure the problem:oo:

[ubeaut]

Am looking into the possibility and cost of setting up our own dedicated server. Currently we share one with cyclingforums.com.au who as I type have 2560 odd people on line along with the 720 odd of our own that's a lot of people and information to be processing at one time.

They have almost 3.2 million posts and 124,180 members add that to our little lotn of over 1/2 million posts and there is a pretty big load of stuff being housed and worked on. All together we're talking some pretty serious processing.

Both forums do a full back up of the database every day and a major back up of the whole shootin' match once a week. It's a wonder there isn't a complete systems melt down, especially if it's all happening when America is waking up or everyone in Oz is on line because they don't have "Sunday Night at the Movies" on the idiot box any more.

Cheers - Neil :no:

[DavidG]

Maybe it is time we financially contributed to the running of the forum. :;

[glock40sw]

Maybe it is time we financially contributed to the running of the forum. :;

Yep.
I'll Put Money into that.

This forum is probably the best place on the net to find info.

Neil and must be the love children of Google and Yahoo.

[ubeaut]

Steven has done a couple of tweaks and there are a few more to do over the next few days. It is running faster now than a couple of days ago and should get better and a bit quicker after the rest is done.

Cheers - Neil :)

[Burnsy]

I would be happy to pay a membership.

The car club I am in has state branches all affiliated through a national group and they run a forum. The forum is open to the public but certain parts of the are only accessable to financial members, this encourages people to join as they want access to all areas. Does create an extra workload to manage and you also need to become a operational club with consitution etc if it is not being run by a business.

[rodent]

Thanks Neil i was beginning to think i had done something to my computer .Thanks again.
