Board has been slow opening today incase you wonder

Posted by Norman Dunn on 2/7/2026, 4:26 pm

This board is Hosted by Boardhost in the USA.
It has been causing problems today ie slow to open up or not open up at all.
I've emailed the Host about this but haven't had a reply. I'm sure it will be back to normal very soon so be patient.

Here is Boardhost's reply re- the board being slow.

Hi Norman
The “Server too busy. Please try again momentarily.” message simply means that at the moment your request reached the server, it was receiving more traffic than it could handle at that instant. This can happen when there is a sudden spike in automated traffic (such as bots or crawlers) or a large number of users accessing the boards at the same time.

We are actively addressing the issue by blocking and rate-limiting abusive traffic to restore normal performance. Most users should already be seeing improvement, and service should continue to stabilize as these protections take effect.

We appreciate your patience while we work through this.

Thank you,
Boardhost Support

Seems to be OK at the moment, just a blip I guess.

There are 'nutters' all over the world constantly trying to break in & ruin Internet Companies websites. I remember the last time Boardhost had these problems and they'd been attacked by 'Bots' & 'Crawlers'.
It must be a constant battle to keep our Websites safe.
