Is that what happens when 10 people are trying to view the forum at the same time? Is this a regular occurrence?

 

[Illuminus007]

I know exactly how you feel. *crosses fingers and wishes this post goes through*

It seems like ALL of the e-cig forums are having problems lately. Maybe BigBrother is putting a choke hold on them cuz they can't tax us? Or do they get tax from the nicotine ingredient origination sale? I mean, whoever makes juice has to buy the nicotine somewhere, is there a tax on it? I guess the U.S. manufacturers would know for sure. China most likely doesn't care.

102 view of the forum last night then the next thing i was getting 'server busy'. This server really isn't up to much, it should be able to cope with a lot more traffic than that.

I've also noticed the site seems very slow (not down to my connection), this must be something to do with the server too.

 

[goffski]

102 viewers that should have been.

How do i edit a post? I can't see any option to edit, do i need to reach a number of posts or something first?

Yes, the server problems are now getting to be beyond a joke. I am sure that SJ is equally annoyed and will be looking into it.

I have to say if it has to do with money,That all suppliers who get to use this forum as a springboard for profits should have mandatory dues to the site ....

And theres still not enough come on now?

 

[trog100]

it dosnt matter how much money is collected.. it has to be pointed in the right direction..

hosts are just like forums.. offer too attractive a price.. get too many customers and end up with not enough seats for the bums..

find a host that chargers twice as much as the norm and u are likely to find a reliable one.. one that does have spare seats.. the high admission price makes sure of that..

It could be a software setting in the forum VBulletin software too
vBulletin Server is too busy error - vBulletin Community Forum

That says "Admin" accounts are exempt, so SJ would never get this message. Maybe he doesn't know how much of a problem it is.

I have found this forum almost unusable the past few days. Constantly the 'server too busy' coming up - like reading Shakespeare by lightening flash - wonderful when it works but just too many dark patches (and I paid my $20 too).

 

[ChainSmkr]

Yeah, this web site isn't handling the traffic its getting or something. And when I finally get through it keeps logging me out!?! I've used Lunar Pages for 5 years now and have been very pleased with the service and cost (not a plug, just trying to help).

Hey guys as some of you know I'm always in contact with SmokeyJoe the sites owner
I e-mailed him tonight to see what this issue is and this is the response just want to update you guys and let you know he is on top of it

Hey Parker, I think it is a combination of factors, not least the new host being a bit unhelpful and my struggling to get the time to make the necessary changes. Anyhoo, I'm going to try to do it this morning, and if there isn't a drastic improvement, change servers again.

Also, there is some suspicion that the content stealing sites are creating probs. So I need to find these guys and ipblock them.

Speak soon,
Sj
