+as77 Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I'm getting this all the time. I can't even log my finds. Time to upgrade the hardware, Groundspeak!
+CompuCash Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 happens all the time the last few weekends - this weekend has been really good until tonight. Last night was slow but tonight is just dead and full of errors. Your best bet is to hang in there until tomorrow or early in the AM however your schedule dictates. they have a lot of hardware - just a lot of caching going on on weekends. I got mine in early this afternoon (California) but I have tried to do a little looking at some profiles as I work through the forums and can't do nutin so -- there are just too many people on right now - hang in there - can't get worse and does get better -
+as77 Posted August 16, 2004 Author Posted August 16, 2004 The hardware should be able to handle the high weekend loads. If it's not (and apparently this is the case) then it should be upgraded.
+Stunod Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I've pitched in my $3/month...anybody else want to contribute?
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Already do, and have been for over a year.
+strikeforce1 Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I've pitched in my $3/month...anybody else want to contribute? I've done my share, as well! Oh Jeremy, can't we restrict the other sites from indexing us so much. Maybe we can have them do it "off peak" some how. This is getting real bad on the weekends! Almost to the point of giving up trying to log tb's and caches in a timely fashion. I've just spent 1 hr. trying to log in. SF1
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 This is not a bash of the site, only info for the powers that be. Friday night/ Saturday morning, at 1 am pacific time, I could not get on the front page...or if I did, I couldnt get to any other page. I kept getting a service error. I finally gave up and tried a different way, via another link directly to the cache I wanted to access and disable. I gave up trying any thing else I wanted to do on the site. I didnt think 1 am PDT was a high traffic time. It was quite frustrating.
+Jeremy Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 There's something odd with the web server. I'll be rebooting the machine to see if I can clear it up.
+Jeremy Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) When do you think everyone logs their cache finds? Edited August 16, 2004 by Jeremy
+KaPeRsMom Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I don't know where everyone logs there cache finds. Are you usually this newbie friendly?
+Jeremy Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) You made an assumption, which was wrong. I was correcting it. Oh, *sigh* I wrote "where" instead of "when" - Monday is one of the busiest days of the week. Edited August 16, 2004 by Jeremy
+KaPeRsMom Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) Aren't you at work? and you avoided my newbie question Edited August 16, 2004 by TeamMenoss
+KaPeRsMom Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I'm not tring to be a pain. <as he says, "Suuuuure."> I AM new and I want to know what we're supposed to do when thing go VERY VERY wrong. Because I'm sure you KNOW when the server is 'broken'. You don't need us to post it here to find that out.
+Mopar Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 You don't need us to post it here to find that out. But he does need someone to tell him to recreate 4yrs of website design for another OS?
+Jeremy Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Posting here is the best thing. We have monitoring software that watches for major issues, but if there is something particularly strange, it doesn't pick up on it as much. No need to open up a new thread if the issue is the same.
+KaPeRsMom Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 You don't need us to post it here to find that out. But he does need someone to tell him to recreate 4yrs of website design for another OS? Man, you aren't gonna let this go are you? He's in charge and he likes it this way.
+Jeremy Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Oh crap! Why didn't anyone mention Linux! Dang. Back to the drawing board for me.
+KaPeRsMom Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) Thats a lot of drawing. Carpel Tunnel and hand cramps galore EDIT: to add smilie so its taken as a joke Edited August 16, 2004 by TeamMenoss
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Taking cheap shots at the admins is no way to foster any kind of cordial (online) relationship. Just my .02
+KaPeRsMom Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) My comments were meant in jest and I think the parties involved took it that way, because they responded in jest also. No cheap shots Edited August 16, 2004 by TeamMenoss
+greengecko Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I often post on Mondays because I can't log in on Saturdays or Sundays... go figure!
+speedy_tracker Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I got the "too busy" error about an hour ago while trying to access this thread and got again while trying to post. It couldn't be anything too terribly wrong. Geocaching is just getting very popular.
