InsectNet forum

Just curious.
Does anyone else get a message like this " resource limit reached" this happens from time to time, and the page simply won't load ?
Conjecture is welcome, but our internet connection is a good one with faster than typical speed, and the computer I use is 6 months old.

I get the message quite often.

Hi, yes we have often this issue.
It seems to affect the whole insectnet website, but we haven’t found the reason behind with Inmotion team…

I check Insectnet several times daily and strangely this evening Thai time the home page was unusually sluggish loading, first giving this error but loaded on refresh. When it did load correctly I tried to open the sections with new posts, but each gave me this error. When I have had this problem before, refreshing the page always led to it loading properly but this evening one repeated the error and the other gave me another error which I copied and sent to wollastoni. Perhaps that will help his hosting company find the source of the problem.

PS. Most of the time Insectnet loads normally, but every so often this error recurs.

The problem is not recurring today. Hopefully it has been solved.

Super!
I was unsure if it was happening to others, and the way to find out is to ask. As good as my provider claims to be, one never knows,
streaming takes a nap often enough, and the official answers from tech support are usually laughable, or simply annoying.

I have seen that a few times this week. I just try to load the page later in the day and it’s usually fine.

The main issue we are worried about is that if it happens to a new user they may not want to use Insectnet any more.

This type of message is usually used when the host servers are swamped. It's to avoid further usage of the servers, which may serve one website or twenty. Typical causes of high traffic swamping are (1) content that is getting a lot of views [not likely on insectnet, but they might also host a porn forum] and (2) Denial of Service attacks. It could also indicate a failure in the servers. The cause should be readily known to the service provider, this isn't magic.

Inmotion says it comes from a technical issue in the code somewhere on InsectNet.

Could be the phpbb forum, I will try to update it with the last version next week... it is not so easy to do and there is a risk of bugging the whole forum so I am always reluctant to do this kind of upgrades. Not sure it will change anything but it's worth a try.

Just for reference, it did it again at 1:30pm Eastern.

OK I have just upgraded succesfully the forum (that's why the forum has been unaccessible for the last 2 hours).
I am not sure at all it will fix the "Resource limit reached" issue, we will see.

It's anyway a good thing to update it for security reasons.

I have the feeling we don't face that issue since I've upgraded the forum version (on May 5th).
Did anyone face this Resource Limit error last week ?

I have seen the message a few times in the past week.

I haven't seen it for at least a week or more. Perhaps it occurs at certain times of day or in certain areas where the internet is slower?
