making a note: the vbulltin too busy mesages just started at 4:42-4:45PM EST today, Thursday October 22nd (just in case this means anything to anyone in the know). I was looking around at my own posts to see replies when it happened. Came here to report.
Edited to add: I got two of the vbulletin messages in a row then it let this one in (will see if this edit goes in the first time or not). Maybe I spoke too soon. I've just been able to edit two times in a row without the message.
I will TRY to remember to come back in here and report when I think they've started to ease up (but that's sorta like knowing exactly when a headache went away, harder to notice).
UPDATE: so far I haven't had any more vbulletin messages since the ones I posted about here and its now 5:16pm (EST) by my computer clock
5:58 PM to 6:03PM -- a whole bunch of the messages out of the blue, got slammed with them too many to count, couldnt go anywhere (wonder if this even is going to post)
