I either don't get it at all, or get it for a solid block of 1-5 hours. It happened again today, very roughly from 2300 to 2400 GMT. The only thing the site would do in that time was display "server busy" messages, and of course when something eventually loaded I'd been logged out and the new posts since I checked yesterday were no longer highlighted.
 
I often get locked out of the site for a couple days. So i put myself down for often. I have been locked out for 2 seperate one to two hour periods today.
 
I haven't got one since the latest forum downtime, but I've not been surfing at midnight, which is when they mostly occurred before for me.
 
We have made some improvements now, so I'm just curious to see how many of you that still get the "server busy", and how often if so?

Edit: I should say that this only goes for the last 12 hours or so, before that I know it was worse. Maybe I should have done this poll in a few days, but I'm so curious. :)

WOoops. Voted Rarely, but in the last 12 hours, None
 
The forum was down for me for about 10 minutes for a bit ago. No server busy message, it just wouldn't load. I didn't even get the "page does not load" message.

Same here.
 
Just experienced a new error that i didnt saw before on this forum:

Database Error
The database has encountered a problem.
Please try the following:

* Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
* Open the forum.paradoxplaza.com home page, then try to open another page.
* Click the Back button to try another link.

The forum.paradoxplaza.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

Lasted for 3-5 minutes or so.
 
I voted "rarely", since I have only experienced it once since the date mentioned for the fix. And that wasn't so much a "server busy"-message, but a browser message stating it could not even contact the server. It is an improvement from right after the upgrade where contact with the forum seemed the exception, though. But I would also like to add the loading speed for the forum have also turned very sluggish, and remains so, since the upgrade.
 
didn´t experienced any server busy messages but what happens is that the Page Load Time has increased often resulting that Threads or Subforums are loaded half so i have to refresh the page often
 
In the last, perhaps, 36 hours, not a single time. Before that, rarely. However, when I had one of those "rare" moments, it was continually, like a barrage.

And now today my deepblue ocean went nuts. Sigh.
 
A lot more than before the changes, back then I never got it, now twice a week.
