Continuous Server issues

[Delta_Moltres]

I continue to have problems with Bulbagarden Forums. When I click on a link to go somewhere on the forums, sometimes, my screen goes all white and huge text appears and says:

503 ERROR
No Server is available to handle your request.

Usually I have to wait as much as half of an hour to get back on bmgf.

Apologies if this is a known problem and I am not helping by reporting it.

This has happened frequently before, it stopped for a while and now it's back. But I believe Archaic at least is aware of it.

Doesn't make it less annoying though. It's solved in 5 minutes for me, generally.

 

[Delta_Moltres]

Ah. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

 

[nya_chan]

Doesn't it just mean that the server is overloaded? I think they mentioned that there were issues with that recently....

 

[Princess Viola]

Yeah. :\

It's really damn annoying. ;-;

I can normally just refresh instantly, but sometimes I'm out for over half an hour

 

[Archaic]

Normally, things should be working again within 5 minutes.

We're aware of the issues, and the likely causes, but our tech is on holiday and won't be back until the end of the week.

Good, that's good.

But usually it takes me like 15 minutes.

I bet it's my crappy dial-up.

i couldnt get back on for about 10 minutes swo for the mean time i had to go to slow loading serebii

 

[Princess Viola]

And sometimes Bulbapedia loads really weird. :\

 

[Chebon]

Yeah, I'm getting 503's as well.
As most said, it returns to normal after a refresh.
Sometimes takes 20-30 minutes.

Thanks.

If it's ever taking ages and you see me on AIM or MSN, give me a yell and I can reset the server if necessary.

 

[Dawn~Berlitz]

eh its starting to happen to me again this site and imageshack are the ones that give me issues my other site doesnt give me issues

 

[Chebon]

Just got a 4 minute 503.
I'm sure I lost like 10 posts + I need to revisit every thread that I been to, from my last safe log out.

Thanks.

I have a similar problem. When ever I try to upload a picture to my album, it shows a blank screen and the picture never loads.

Er, yeah. We're aware of the 503 issue. IM an admin--especially Archaic, but I'll do, too--if you see one on.
