I don't mind it telling me that so much. They are trying to limit their costs by limiting bandwidth. I've no problem with that. What ticks me off is that whenever I get the "server too busy" screen, it updates my cookie! Then, when I do get on, I don't know what's new since the last time I visited because it counts "server too busy" as a visit.
Yup! Call me a wambulance!!!

thats actually a great point, if it didnt update the cookie, then at least i knew i didnt miss anything.
i do like the "see the last 24 hours" link if there were no updates.

hmm, i just realized you can look at "Today's Posts" in the "Quick Links" pulldown menu on the toolbar.
ok, that kinda helps the cookie issue, but this still sucks...

yeah, like washington.
I was going to post a huge post with links and stuff but once I got server too busy I was too angry to type it again.
a forum takes up hardly any bandwidth. It's all text. The big deal would be the overhead of all the database queries. Even so I think the multiple sessions is set way too low.
If you try to fight a war in eight hour shifts everyone will work graveyard.
It gets really annoying sometimes, like either when you're posting something and it craps out on you, or right before a big event (like the MWKF tournament in La Crosse, WI this past weekend) and you try to catch updates before you have to leave.
That is my only real problem with the "server is too busy" thing.

Hamish, please tell us this problem is going to end very soon. We promise to behave and will watch out for scam and troll better.
Well it seems OK now. So perhaps we can all get back on our prams? I think the only person with a real gripe is the one who typed the big post and lost it. Perhaps its better to do big posts in word then paste them in? Not that I ever do them these days as I realised fairly quickly that few bother to read them!
As for the rest of you..... Get back to work!
bah... it's been bugging me, too... still a problem today.
Maybe they need to go back and just start pruning old threads or something..
Yeah - this is crazy - I am lucky if I can get on the boards to check posts once a day. And usually I can only see the first page of new posts - when I try to view page 2 I get booted!
Damn. This server too busy stuff is bugging me too. Well...... Nothing I can do since i'm not a mod. hehe *hint hint*

You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well- worn path, and that will make all the difference.

seems to be hit and miss... i made that previous post just before heading to lunch... took me 3 or 4 times to get it to post..
...just come back after lunch and i've been able to look at THREE threads in a row without getting the 'busy server' message...
...we'll see how long that lasts..
