Unfortunately this afternoon the forum was bumped offline by our host for about 45 minutes due to having exceeded its process limit. In the past I've explained about what that actually means, so I won't go into it all over again (a search can bring it up), but the main point I need to reiterate is that quite often we're our own worst enemies when it comes to making the problem last much longer than it needs to because, when the system stops responding, our first instinct tends to be to click a link or a button until it starts to respond again. That's what several members and guests were doing. And that may seem like the logical thing to do. But it's not really. In fact, it's probably the worst possible thing to do. The best thing to do whenever the "Process limit exceeded..." error comes up is to completely leave the forum and come back in a few minutes. Or if you're in the middle of posting something and the system doesn't seem to be responding, just leave it alone because in the vast majority of cases it will eventually go through. The only thing repeatedly clicking on links and buttons actually accomplishes is to cause more processes to be created, to cause more processes to back up, and to extend the period of the problem longer for yourself and everyone else.
But if we basically have a bit of patience, the problem will usually work itself out in a matter of only a few minutes.
And we will all probably be much happier.
