What is the problem today?

I have been getting this message when clicking on a topic:

Too Many Requests

The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time.
429

Few users online except for 1000+ "guests"...

Somebody woke up the bots apparently.

My posting disappeared when I tried to preview it, too.

Yeah, there is definitely something going on here. Incredibly slow, I keep getting bumped and forced to sign back in, too many request….

Feels like this site is infected with something.

I thought it was only me. I have had similar problems also. Lets hope that it is an easy fix.

I too, have been regularly receiving 'Too Many Requests':

I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that, too many requests....

Started this morning for me.

Me also. Some bug has gotten in.

Working on it.

Scott it looks like you got things working again. Thanks. Was it a DENIAL OF SERVICE BOT swamp?

I banned a few more countries from access.
And I hired a new tech person to keep the site up to date for me. So that was also done today.

Thank you, Scott, for taking care of it!

A BIG THANK YOU!



Having to re-log in was a very minor issue for us to get this fixed!

Funny thing is, that I never had to re-log in.
Just had to patiently refresh the topic until it took hold.

I am wondering if these Blue pop-up tags aren't connected to the problem. i assume everyone is seeing the same tags.

I haven't seen any ads at all. Ever. But I have AdBlock running on this site.

Thanks, but I've scanned my computer for malware and found nothing. I frequent one other forum on a regular basis and the tags only appear here.
