you cannot be connected: forum too busy

[Rogan]

I've had another persistent one a few minutes ago. Refreshing didn't help, I've had to wait for some minutes until I could log in.

At other times, a refresh is sufficient.

[Lord Ruby34]

I've had the same message that was posted earlier in this thread crop up somewhat frequently over the past week.

Firefox. Windows 10.

[Palanan]

Just spent the last fifteen minutes trying to post here that I ran into trouble starting fifteen minutes ago.

I'd say it's slowly but steadily getting worse.

[bramblefoot]

same thing here

[Hiro Quester]

Me too. Everything worked well last night, but this morning it occurred repeatedly, while trying to post a response. Had to hit "Post reply" and then go back to try again, repeatedly over 10 minutes before there response was accepted and posted.

[bramblefoot]

happened again

[Quertus]

Late to the party, but intermittent bouts of “The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.”, including minutes ago (and while trying to post this). Usually from my cell phone, in Chrome.

[farothel]

Same here. It comes and goes, although less frequent in my morning (I'm in Europe). Google chrome and windows 10 (both up to date).

[Palanan]

Almost completely inaccessible from approx. 10:00-10:30 am EST.

[theangelJean]

Just got the error twice over the last half hour. First time I've had it at this time of night.

[bramblefoot]

happened again at 9:57

[Lord Torath]

Just got a "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." message.

[ArlEammon]

Me too. Often. More than once a day.

[bramblefoot]

happened again

[farothel]

Just had it again a minute ago while trying to load this topic actually.

[bramblefoot]

ditto, like 5-10 minutes ago

[danielxcutter]

Feels like I've been getting every time I check from an email for the past week or so.

[Metastachydium]

Alright, after the thing being sporadic at worst for days, now I got three in a row within half an hour.

Edit: Given that a new strip's just up, it's possible that the frequency is about increased traffic in this specific instance.

Ditto, and rapidly increasing in frequency.

[danielxcutter]

That would explain why if I click a thread subscription email as soon as it’s sent I never manage to avoid it.

[Lord Torath]

Just had it happen at 13:17 Eastern Time

[Rogan]

I just wanted to report that the problem persists. I've got the error message multiple times during the last hour.

[Metastachydium]

I've been having prolonged episodes as well throughout the last few days.

[Metastachydium]

Another bout, now interspersed with three "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" error messages delivered by Cloudflare^®!

[theangelJean]

Just got a bunch of 503 error messages from CloudFlare (not through the forum itself) as well. Each one very short-lived, possibly even request-specific - some of the time I was able to get through just by hitting "back" and trying the button again, one time I got the error message back again after doing that. Have been reading the forum for a few hours before that, with none of the previously noted site-specific error messages.

This exactly describes my circumstance as well: late, server busy, phone, google.

Given that a new strip's just up, it's possible that the frequency is about increased traffic in this specific instance.

That was my first thought.

Still seeing this at some point daily.

[bramblefoot]

happened again a few minutes ago

[Palanan]

I keep running into this, including just a few minutes ago.
