I got it a few times yesterday and maybe 5 times today. Also the forums have been extremely slow on occassions..........like sometimes 2 or 3 minutes to jump from one page to another. I wrote it off to LL not paying much attention to the forums since they got their new Blog. :)

its because LL is taking bandwidth from the forums and applying it to the grid. which explains the tremendous boost in performance of the grid in the past few days.;)

It's because LL can't spare 2 servers in order to set the forums/database up properly.

Its not LL's fault, its the Internets. I hear that recent interest in Anna Nicole Smith has caused the tubes to get clogged with nude images of her. A few images of her in "whale mode" can clog branch pipes, and slow down service. I think they sent Mike Rowe deep into the Intertubes to clean out the blockage. :D

I have been getting more 503 messages than anything else lately with *ANY* page related to LL, not just the forums... Includes my transaction and account summary pages, the blog, all LL pages.

Heh... Even their website isn't scaleable.

Sweet! I just opened the SL client, and got a huge white area with the 503 message in it instead of the usual content in the embedded browser :) If I could post snapshots here, I certainly would have, I actually laughed out loud when I saw that.

Yes Sue. You beat me to it. I have been trying to save the error messages I have been getting lately to tell them about on the blog and ask other people about in these forums.

502/501 An Internal Error Has Occurred.



Are they redesigning or making changes to the website? The blog was acting really odd after Wednesday and some buttons look a little different to me.

The forums are really slow - I may not be getting any error messages, but it's taking so long to load pages that it makes me think something has locked up.
