Forumotion server errors

Forumotion, our forum hosting, is having some minor server issues today. If you have trouble getting on the forum, or get a "502" error, just refresh the page, or try again later. Sorry for the inconvenience.

These kind of problems don't happen often, and when they do, they usually don't last too long. Forumotion is good about getting server problems fixed. There's nothing we can do on our end.

It's gotten a little better already, but still slow.

This is an overload error, and i'm going to try an explain that now.

You have five people. That's a set server limit (not really, just a number) and four people come in one by one. Then, out of nowhere, two people come in at exactly the same time, and it throws the server over a set limit. Normally this isn't an issue, but normally the set limit is surpassed. A member of the forumotion support forum has told me that things should gradually improve as the day goes on.

OK, things seem to be back to normal for me. Let us know if anyone is still having problems. If you do, try clearing your history and cache and shutting down your browser.

Oh, OK. So what you're saying is this is like Buddha trying to squeeze his way into the buffet line. Gotcha.
