New Year, New Problems
This is an urgent message for the moderators and fellow board members.
I don't know if anyone as experienced this but the white screen of doom as returned displaying "Server Unavailable:- unable to respond due to maintenance downtime or capacity overload."
So far it hasn't been much of a problem, more of an annoyance I hope the matter can be resolved speedily and without much disruption.
Thank you and sorry to be the bearer of bad news. A happy new year to you all.

About 4 times on my phone this afternoon and once tonight on my tablet about eight o'clock while I was writing my latest story.

Re: New Year, New Problems
it happened again two times to me
it's an issue about the too many " guests", today 5000 and counting, the board can crash if this continues like this

Bloody hell! Where are they all coming from? Something needs to be done about these "guests" before the board crashes. Perhaps do away with them entirely and have a strict members only policy.

Okay, thanks Esercito. I will leave it in their (and by extension your) capable hands. Hopefully this issue can be addressed quickly.esercito sconfitto wrote: Sun Jan 05, 2025 10:01 pm I posted a message at the mod forum

Re: New Year, New Problems
I haven't been fully locked out but yesterday a few times pages on the site loaded very slowly. At first I thought it was my internet but then tried multiple other sites and they were loading fine.
However, the problem did clear up after about an hour.
