    The message board was down for several hours. Everything should be working now.
    I'm investigating the reasons.

    Sorry for inconvenience.

    It looks like the server went down at 6PM eastern time last night.

    By the looks of it, there was a post with two large attachments, 5MB each.
    When someone on a slow connection tried to download it and then canceled in the middle of a download, the connection wasn't being released.
    So eventually all available connections got consumed.

    This shouldn't be happening, so I'm looking into why the connections got stuck that way.

    That puts it at 4pm my time, but it was down/unaccessable before that. I had run to town, was back around 12:30pm (2:30AM EST) and couldn't access the board.
    Guess those of us that have are surrounded by the Pacific were the first ones to encounter this and then it trickled to the US? <shrug>

    I was starting to panic that I had a virus or had somehow blocked the site from my computer :-( :-(

    That's strange. The flood of errors in the logs started at "Aug 18 18:01".
