You're not alone. Ever since the new changes were implemented, I've been experiencing a busy server several times a day that last anywhere from a couple minutes to an hour or two. We really need to find what the problem is because it's drastically hurting our activity and new member quota.

And it's just downright annoying. :mad:

Re: Server Busy
 

its happening more recently. however the problem has been there for at LEAST a year that i can remember seeing it.


it have something to do with a bandwidth limit on the server or something?

Re: Server Busy
 

I have been experiencing this issue a lot, but most of the time I can refresh and get right back on. Maybe somebody IS hacking GT as Neo's stories suggest...


/me looks around at people shiftily

Re: Server Busy
 

Well I've disabled the load warning so hopefully that will fix it.

Re: Server Busy
 

No, I've been running websites for the past 8 years. When the server is too busy, on a forum script like this one, it doesn't have anything to do with the bandwidth... otherwise the forum itself would not load and you'd get a cogent message saying Bandwidth Limit Exceeded.

However, seeing this message it means that there are too many connections to mySQL happening at once, and the script cannot handle the parse load.

.... MEANING... lol.......... when you see that message.... usually too many people are trying to post a topic all at once. It doesn't necessarily mean too many people on the forum. But usually too many people calling the script to parse an action, it will say it is too busy.

The forum will be able to handle many connections to the forum, but when many people ALL AT ONCE try to post a topic or parse the php script, it becomes busy. I hope that's easy to understand.

Re: Server Busy
 

What I never got is that NOBODY can use the forum when that happens. I'd understand it if there were a que. :confused:

Re: Server Busy
 

nu uh.

I get it 100 times a day

Re: Server Busy
 

I've been getting it A LOT recently as well, and it's usually after I try to post a message, which leads me to believe what Kyuzo says.

Is there any way to fix it?

Re: Server Busy
 

I once couldn't get on for a whole day becasue of that. And once, I had written a long message, then when I tried to send it, I got that message. For I don't know how long. Then I quit. Nobody saw that message again...

By the way, I just saw the top40 of Turkey. There are a few Dutch artists in there! Especially Within Temptation is so cool..... :cool:

Re: Server Busy
 

I get it a few times a day. Hopefully the "hotfix" Neo did will alleviate the problem a bit.

Re: Server Busy
 

What if we click File> Save As?

Then we can access and use GT without having to bother going online?

Re: Server Busy
 

I suffer from this also. Some times when i have a reply fresh in my head i can't post it. :(
