Default TOTV Too Busy?

Boy Howdy! It's 9:32 pm and this is the message when I try to read New Posts: The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
How many of you are there? A gazillion?

I got that same message a little while ago as well. Came back about 5 minutes later and was able to access TOTV o.k. at that point. Has not recurred......at least for me!!

I got the message some time before 8 a.m. Only about five minutes before I could get back on.

TOTV must be rockin' tonight! Go TOTV!

Or should I say... It's da man.

I had no problem with reading threads. But when I tried to post at 9:40 PM, I got the same "server busy" message, "try again later".

With 22,662 members and 586 online tonight, I'm not surprised the server is overloaded! I'm sure it is something the Admins are working on.

I was getting same message earlier too. During that time I also noticed that the Quick Links dropdown menu was slightly different....missing the Albums for example.

Waited a bit and now able to get in without a problem - and the Quick Links dropdown menu seems back to normal too!

My time setting is a-o.k.

Double check your personal settings - you can control the time zone and DST settings. Go to User CP then Edit Options. Scroll down - make sure you've got the proper settings.

Hope that helps!

Just guessing, but I doubt the problem was that it was overwhelmed with users. Remember computers just grab something to tell you when there is a problem. Kind of like Windows favorite message, "Low on Memory". It has to say something so it grabs whatever is handy.

Servers can be running backup routines, rebooting, had a small power outage or any of a number of things. All of those can "distract" it for a bit. Unless it happens again, life is probaby good. (Gee I'm starting to sound like you guys...don't worry, be happy) Perhaps I should change my screen name to Bobby McFerrin.


[What a riot. I tried to post this and got the same message!!!]

I may not be the sharpest crayon in the box.... but I can tell time.

When logged in the time is correct. When not logged in, the time on all posts changes by one hour. Same thing last Nov.

Default Too Busy????

Maybe it was a typo.
Said "too busy" when it meant "too busy-body"???????

.......What a pain in the "Patootie"
Hope the ADMINS get this addressed soon.....
..........BEFORE us old-timers give up trying to answer the newcomers questions.

EDIT

to accomodate the volume of traffic......

Sorry - I didn't understand what you were getting at initially.

Maybe it's got something to do with where the server is located???? Dunno.

This is a test for checking time stamp.

<<EDIT>>> I'm good!
