"Server Busy"

I thought the refresh would have brought about price parity on the MacBook. Guess not.
At today's (noon) nominal exhange rate of 1.0527, it should be $1044. Heh.
(Of course, the nominal rate is always a few points higher than what is offered to the consumer. So, an even price would be fair.)

Since you're here, and to get off the subject for a bit, are you guys planning to do something about this constant "server busy" situation? Sometimes I can't get in for minutes, sometimes for much longer. What gives? I don't see this problem anywhere else.

Strange. It could be an issue with the load-balancing but I haven't seen that occur at all.

I've seen it too...

That's odd. There have been times when the server wasn't accessable for half a day. It can't be just me. I haven't had the problem with any other site. I remember having discussions with other members about this over time.
I get it a lot when I click the e-mail link to the site, and when submitting a post reply.

When was the last time it happened?

About 20 minutes ago.

Very odd.
I've been browsing around and posting for the past hour without a problem.
(I'm going to move these posts to the Feedback forum in a new thread, btw.)
Australian Apple store is still showing the old MacBooks for sale even though the new ones are described in the main Apple Australia website. Guess if they keep quiet about the upgrade then it won't alert the suckers who will buy the outdated models clogging the retail channels...
I noticed yesterday that the Mac Mini still listed as being shipped with Leopard in the store, and on certain areas of its info page. Clearly it takes Apple a few days to catch up
Speaking of the Mini, it's a huge shame that they didn't quietly upgrade it, as I'm about three days out from replacing my knackered G4 Mini at the office with a new one.
When was the last time it happened?
Happened about 15 minutes ago for me as well. I host a vBulletin site too and have never seen this error (although on average, we probably get about 20% of the visitors that AI gets, even if we do have some peak times that come close).
It seems to take at least minutes to come back up. Occasionally goes right out again.
Still happening for me too - if anything it's worse... also could not get in for several hours yesterday.
Several hours? Can you be more specific about the times? I was on the site(s) all day without any problems. Is anyone else having these issues?
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
It just now happened as I clicked on a post:
http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...9&goto=newpost
It took four tries, and 4 minutes to get in.
On the plus side, we also implemented some other new optimizations (gzip, memcached) that should help speed of everything.
Thanks for your responses and help.
I'm happy I caught you guys. I'm just surprised it wasn't noticed by someone from the site.
