Too many requests?

[Ken]

Anyone else getting this error lately?

[Basvarken]

Yeah same over here. And the site often won't load at all.

[Rob]

Same here.

Yup , I tried to post on this thread this morning , and it didn't take. Then I couldn't get in.

Something is definitely up. When I log in to the hosting service, everything appears to be fine. And it loaded on my phone with no problem, but I can't consistently get the page to load on my PC with any browser. I'll contact the hosting service tomorrow if I can.

Ok, I think I fixed it.  There was an update to the forum software I had not noticed and I just ran the upgrade, and also upgraded the PHP version to the latest.

It seems to be working.  And I barely know what I am doing, don't be fooled

The hallmark of software these days seems to be that whenever an update is pending, the software stops functioning. I think Microsoft perfected this - every time my computer starts doing weird stuff, I know there's probably an update waiting to be run.

Absolutely true.  Every time my wife starts complaining about her computer doing wacky stuff or simple things not working, it's time to check for Microsoft Updates, and 99.972% of the time, there's an update to be done. 

The other 0.028% of the time, it's because she wacked some button 42 times in frustration.

Microsoft updates are like Russian roulette games with our laptops at work. Surprise, your audio driver no longer works! Surprise, you can no longer connect to the VPN!


Bring back Patch Tuesday and waiting a week to see if it breaks everything before installing it yourself.

It still seems to be acting a little wonky, I got the 429 Too Many Requests error yesterday briefly, and on occasion it still doesn't load promptly.  When I have some time, I will get online with tech support and see if there is some underlying reason.

Not as bad as it was before. I've only hit the very occasional "too many requests" flag recently.

[Pilgrim]

I haven't been able to get it to load for two days. It works this AM at 7:45 AM MT.

Mine didn't work yesterday again, but works today!
