There are already three dedicated threads regarding the SAT on the front page, so there really isn't any need to start a new topic for every individual question you have.
For instance: SAT, SAT - returning students and SAT prep.
Any questions you might have can simply be posted within one of those three existing threads.
No one is under any obligation to keep you in the loop. It’s entirely up to the moderators whether they decide to maintain a redirect for merged threads or not, and in your specific case, I suspect they aren't 🙂
I am looking for suggestions on how to notify customers about brief maintenance windows without simply stating, "Sorry, we are performing short-term service." 😁
😬
*Just to be clear, when I say "we," I don't mean that I am personally handling the repairs 🤣

Look, we aren't ten years old—if you're really curious, the average age here is around 18. We aren't being immature. And no, a moderator shouldn't have to "guide" us or teach us anything; I mean, if we haven't learned how to act by now, what's a moderator going to do—give us a lecture?
So, what's the move here if we want to actually get noticed (and get a response)? Should we just PM the admin of Reddit?
The posts quoted above don't actually support the bolded part. 🤷

You have every right to express yourself, and I certainly don't mind you posting on the forums, but intentionally causing chaos in the chat isn't going to fly here. 🙂 I already cleared this with the admin.

Are you acting like Tarik, terrified of losing your job? 🤣
The forum is already under heavy load just from the sheer volume of traffic and posts, and while moderator tools represent minor overhead, they can occasionally be the tipping point that triggers a 503 error. There are times—say, around 2:00 AM—when a few mods can tinker with their settings without much consequence. Ultimately, everything depends on the current visitor count and server strain at that specific moment.
Navigate to your private messages, select all or just the specific ones you want, scroll all the way down to the bottom where you can delete them or mark them read/unread, and then save them as an XML, CSV, or TXT file. Rather than manually copying everything into a Word document, this approach is much more efficient 🙂
I have already stated that the software itself is functioning correctly, and the vBulletin installation is fine. The server is also performing as intended. These errors are simply a result of server overload. Given my professional experience managing servers, websites, and general network infrastructure, please allow me to provide a breakdown of these server errors for your reference:
400(Bad request) 401(Authorization required) 402(Payment required) 403(Forbidden) 404(Not found) 405(Method not allowed) 406(Not acceptable) 407(Proxy authentication required) 408(Request timeout) 409(Conflict) 410(Gone) 411(Length required) 412(Precondition failed) 413(Request entity too large) 414(Request URI too large) 415(Unsupported media type) 416(Request range not satisfiable) 417(Expectation failed) 422(Unprocessable entity) 423(Locked) 424(Failed dependency) 500(Internal server error) 501(Not Implemented) 502(Bad gateway) 503(Service unavailable) 504(Gateway timeout) 505(HTTP version not supported) 506(Variant also negotiates) 507(Insufficient storage) 510(Not extended)
It would be best not to speculate on matters outside your expertise. The reality is that our traffic is increasing. I personally know several individuals who regularly read this Reddit community; they are active visitors, even if they aren't registered users. I am quite unsure why you are inventing statistics when you cannot verify their accuracy. 🤷
