forum So did anybody else get locked out of Notebook for an hour?

This is the first time I’ve been able to get on Notebook in the past hour. I know it’s not slow internet (surprisingly, particularly since that’s usually the issue). It kept giving me Application Errors every single time I tried to get on Notebook in the past hour, and that was trying multiple ways too. I don’t know why it was doing that, or what’s going on, and it’s done this before a few times (though I can’t remember when). I’m just wondering if I’m the only one with this issue, or if there’s a known reason why it was doing that.

The only possible things I can guess right now is either there was an update in Notebook, there’s a bug/glitch of some kind, or something is wrong with my phone or browser. Otherwise, I have no clue what’s going on.

@andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), any thoughts?

Looks like the servers got a bit overloaded. We've had a lot of new users join the site the last couple days and it looks like it's time to add another server to the mix! Things should be back to normal now, but I'll go ahead and add another server to the mix to support a lot more users going forward. :)

It looks like a lot of the users are here for writing and analysis, so there's probably a lot of code there I can clean up to make faster and affect the rest of the site less. Always nice to know what needs done next; excited to get to it!

Sorry about the brief downtime!

Ah, that makes sense. Alright, thanks for clarifying that for me! I was getting a little worried there for a sec, lol.

It’s alright. It was more confusing than anything.
