Tuesday, July 15, 2025. 11:05 am EDT lasted about 4 minutes OK now

Had the same problem here.

Happened again starting around 11:50 am EDT lasted about 10 minutes

 

Had issues loading photos, as well....something about an "Unknown Server issue"....Refresh did...nothing...

Bug just moved into Indiana at 2:22 EST. Lasted at least 10 minutes. Server must've slipped out for donuts

 

Same message I got last week.

Same message I got last week.

Same issue for 15 minutes +/- starting about 3:32P, EST 

Had a hard time getting on just now.  First for me.  Must be lucky.

No issues for me today, but haven't been on much. Had a couple more  occurrences yesterday evening as described above. I'll add, refreshing browser doesn't help nor does closing page and opening a new tab.

Worked for me today.

Kept me out for most of the day! 

Did it again, yesterday...then the photo uploading issue...Took 4 tries to get that first photo to load to this site...

I got a response about a week ago that basically said the site had no more storage space, and to try again in a few minutes. That would confirm @John Morris's statement (on another thread) that we were running out of space. I imagine all these little problems are related to that. He's doing a great job,  so I for one am quite willing to wait until he gets it sorted out.

I am sorry about that guys. A ton of traffic from the mid east and Russia, bots, etc. overwhelming us, we'll need to go to a larger server, at a higher price point unfortunately, I've been putting if off for quite awhile, but I am getting frustrated with not being able to get on our site too. The past couple days around the afternoon I get a white screen with and error message "The resources for this website have been exhausted" or something to that affect, and it's all because of the foreign traffic that's not even real people, it's bots. 

I have worked through IT on this issue over the past year and all the safeguards are in place, entire countries are banned from even accessing our community yet they still come in and get through.

 

I've changed servers three times in the past three years with upgraded storage (with higher costs) etc to no avail, the more storage and processing we purchase it just allows more bots to slam us.

 

I've got a ton of things going on here at home right now, I should be able to dig in again next month when I have more time and work on a solution. Thank you all completely for your patience and still calling us home with these issues in place, I promise, we'll get it figured out. Thank you for being here and thanks for the report Fred!
