worse? really. I am on a **** load of forums and i have never once experienced the issues like i have here. In fact i have never got a busy server on any forum i have ever been on except this one...

 

+1 I've never had problem with the others and been with them for years. I'm not complaining, just stating fact. It's not a bad issue for me.

 

^^^ +1, +1

It's DEFINITELY an issue. Someone who says it isn't, don't know how important it is for servers to not have any downtime at all!

This is the ONLY forum that has these kind of problems. I'm on the Cayman Club forum too, and their user base is just as big, with NO issues.

 

I started and built the arizona mazda club forums, there are alot of different things that could be going on here. One thing I'd do is call the host and see if the site is going beyond it's allowed amount of SQL queries if there is a limit, but since the message is coming from the actual forums software I'm not sure that is the issue. I ran vBulletin on that site and it still runs it today. I don't remember ever having that issue. I would definitely take a screenshot and email or post it up on the vBulletin support site. They will get to the bottom of it very quickly. I've had it happen quite often as well. It happens when using firefox. I rarely use IE, so maybe that's it? There also could be some sort of timeout limit in the vbulletin software causeing the issue.

 

i have used the site on firefox, IE and aol and all of them net the same results
