    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...

    Here's a tip: If the that message appears, don't close the window, instead wait a while and refresh it, that way it'll post your message.

    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.

    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!
