Seems the server has been too busy rather frequently of late. Time for an upgrade?

I was in the pub, but the way I feel today I wish I'd been on here and stayed in...

Has anyone some explanations?
It happens a lot even in moments when the number of connected people is not that large. |

See the thread "Bandwidth and Attachments". It's one of the issues we are trying to address.

I've also had trouble with the "server to busy" messages. And to me, the entire site seems slower than it used to be. Not that I have any grand solutions.
What about deleting attachments after a week? Some forums have threads that are many, many, many pages long with numerous attachments. That way the pic can be posted and viewed, and then tossed. But maybe that isn't feasible. |

I got a database error earlier "Unable to connect to server"
Anybody else had one of them recently? Is that capacity related as well or am I just a freak? |

Had that a few times myself - basically same problem as the 'server too busy' message only it doesn't get that far!
All related to server bandwidth problems - i.e. the issue isn't the amount of disk space (for storing threads etc), it's sufficient processing power to open, read, update posts/threads/attachments etc for x number of people at a given time... |

So it really meant: "The server is too busy to tell you it's too busy"
Ooops. |

I've had that one several times.
The site is incredibly slow all round now, as well. I thought it was down to my stupid computer but none of the other websites have slowed down, so.... |

Which is surprising considering the number of pictures downloading on those other sites of yours knowlesy...
Spookily enough, just got the same message now! Maybe I should stop posting spurious posts that don't actually add anything to anyone's lives... hang on, if I didn't do that I wouldn't have enough posts to get in Parc Ferme... Wibble. |
