forum overloaded????

[Crazylife]

I just tried to get into the forum.. froze me out for a good 15 min... anyone else?

[LSLeong]

Nope. Works fine for me

[melserd]

Me neither, alls good this end

[Tara]

I was kicked out for a bit, as well...

[imfkool]

I had some bad loading time, with all 322 people online and all

Now it keeps jumping back and forth between cool Halloween theme forum and regular ol' style forum. It goes back to Halloween when I refresh or reload recent threads, but it's weird and starting to piss me off...

Weird. Are you on a PC?

Yesterday evening, which is when America, Canada, and the UK are all awake at the same time, I was having to refresh pages on occasion when they came back "server not responding." Never got locked out or received any actual error, though (and I've had Proboards error screens in the past).

Hmmm seems we have an EA Glitch in the Forum system or Spiffshine sent one of the Gremlins here instead... But it probably would be proboards themselves, if there are many other TSTO related forums, so most likely a surge. But then again after the update hit, my ISP went down too haha.

Fortunately, Wikisimpsons' new server held out well and we didn't even experience any slowing down on our end.

That's a strange one. I wonder if it's a cookies issue? It sounds like something like that to me. Could be worth clearing them and seeing if that clears things up. This is what I always tell everybody to do, but it really does fix a lot of issues.

Are you going to tstappedout .proboards .com? That will bring up the old forum design and then jump to the new forum URL at tstappedout.com and the new design whenever you click a link. That would explain the different themes. Update your bookmarks to tstappedout.com and go there exclusively.

Andy & Spiffshine ...No and no... I am a chronic cookie/cache/history clearer because I work, watch tv/movies, play my game, etc.. all from this same laptop. My forum tab is permanent and doesn't change. Ever. Who knows what happened...it was weird, it happened about 4-5 times and has since stopped.
Thanks for following up tho!  +1
