What's going on with the forum?

Over the last few days—and I mean much more frequently than usual—I’ve been getting constant "server busy" messages. On top of that, the forum pages are loading incredibly slowly, if they even load at all...
Does anyone know what's going on??

edit: While I was actually trying to get this thread posted, I had to start from scratch twice because it kept throwing that "server busy" error at me... Honestly, it happened about 15 times in just one hour this morning...

I find myself feeling exactly the same way

It feels as though the entire system is simply unraveling

What are you going to 😁
And why would I bother rewriting it? I just hit the back button on my browser and keep doing that until the post finally goes through. 🤣

The crowd is bigger than before. The server is struggling a bit.

Why would I bother retyping everything? My strategy is simply to hit the back button in my browser over and over again until the post finally goes through.🤣

Well, even if I do go back... it’s not exactly a disaster... except the problem is that it just dumps me right back onto the post I was trying to quote, without actually saving anything I typed...
It is absolute madness...
The system has been incredibly taxing lately...👎

I suppose I'll be left with 😁 who on earth would go through all that writing again.. 😬
But it really is quite exhausting 🙄

I do the exact same thing, but it screwed me over once—when it finally posted, I ended up with like ten copies of the same damn post.😁

Some people are still clinging to that junk called Google, then acting surprised when their back button doesn't work quite right. 😉

🤣

Google is basically what saved my life online 🙂

The server uptime is looking absolutely catastrophic at this point... you really need to switch providers

Get used to it, things will start feeling easier soon ☕

Honestly, I feel like Google is what really gave me a reason to actually enjoy being online. 🙂

Signature 👍

To be perfectly honest, Google was quite literally my lifeline when I first started navigating the internet. 🙂

I truly find it hard to believe there is any meaningful distinction in performance between those using Google and those stuck using Internet Explorer....

It’s really no different at all... 🙂

Even our local Google is pulling the same kind of nonsense on us...😠

Kate Cox2 said:I honestly doubt there’s much of a difference between people using Google and those stuck on Internet Explorer....

There actually is a difference when you hit the back button.

goldentrucker11 said:there isn't one.. 🙂

they're messing with us Google users too...😠

Wait, what? I don't see how the browser would have anything to do with the server.😕

mistywolf17 said:Wait, what? What does the browser have to do with the server? 😕

Well, nothing—it doesn't... I was just pointing out that someone mentioned it earlier, so I thought I'd bring it up...

goldentrucker11 said:Well, it’s just not there... I think someone mentioned it earlier, so I was just saying...

Actually, I don't think anyone specifically brought that up. 😁

mistywolf17 said:well, nobody was actually being specific about that part 😁

Some people are still clinging to that piece of junk called US, so naturally their back end isn't functioning the way it's supposed to.

I guess I completely misread the situation then... 😁
my bad.. 😳 😳

Well, yeah, that’s specifically for the back button. In Firefox, when you hit back, the text stays there, but in IE it obviously doesn't—that's really the whole point. 😉

Well, well... 😁

The IRS is an absolute joke 👎
