Locked out the net

**Woody70x2** · 05-01-2014 04:03 PM

Why? Thought logged in .net users were okay?

***Dan Sarf*** · 05-01-2014 04:06 PM

Me too! It's back now though thank goodness.

Thought I was going to have a heart attack!

**leemel** · 05-01-2014 04:06 PM

me also ?????

**DaveF** · 05-01-2014 04:06 PM

Registered users were locked out for a short spell due to sheer volume of people on here.

Me too. We were two up as I was locked out and disappointed to see we drew 2 each after I got back in ! Still the glass of Vintage Port went down very well as I read the Hear7s going down today.

The little iSpy function is worth the £10 annual membership alone

***Mikey*** · 05-01-2014 04:09 PM

We were getting database errors because of the number of users online so cut it right back to Private Members only.

**hibeeleicester** · 05-01-2014 04:09 PM

Make sure everyone pays £10 now!

**Glory Lurker** · 05-01-2014 04:10 PM

Yup. I got locked out when I tried to post a comment. I just assumed that at long last the admins had installed a quality control system on posts.

It would have been handy to have warning of that possibility

The i-spy feature was freely available on the match update thread but people just won't use it!

**scotiaf** · 05-01-2014 04:11 PM

Yes I was kicked to the curb also

***O'Rourke3*** · 05-01-2014 04:12 PM

First time I'd used iSpy "in all my days as a member" far better than faster than the BBC where nothing happened in the game for 7 minutes, including DU having a goal chalked off. My £10 is probably due later this month too....

I-Spy isn't a PM thing. I'm not a PM and got logged out whilst on I-Spy. Having to rely on the BBC, I mean come on...

So people logged on were bumped for people logging on?
Can understand it if it's private members getting on but how is it decided who gets turfed?

Nope. It was cut back to PM's only.

It would have been, but unfortunately it's not really possible. When the volume of users is so high, immediate action is needed.

It's not ideal, but that's the way it is.

Sorry, but I use it all the time - it's brilliant - but I couldn't access it towards the end of the game!!!!! Nor the main forum.

Deeply upsetting. I thought I'd been banned.

***Jones28*** · 05-01-2014 04:13 PM

I was too, all sorted?

This isn't about conning £10 out of people, it's about making sure the site didn't fall over.

I was locked out. Hope nobody with a lesser post count than me wasn't locked out.

Not me. Last time this happened I donated the money - to costs of running the server - but I did not request Private Membership whatever that is.

You did indeed but you also refused private membership which is entirely your choice. If you'd taken the PM option then you wouldn't have been kicked off earlier today.

It's not about making sure everyone pays a tenner, it's about ensuring the site continues to run. No one wants us offline for several hours.

How do I upgrade the £10

Dare I ask why as someone who knows nothing about databases ?

With respect, I did not refuse, I declined primarily because it was less than crystal clear what the benefits were.

refuse \ decline - Is there any difference?

It's not less than clear, if you take a few minutes to look for the info. Or even ask an Admin and they would direct you to it.

Of course there is a difference if they were the same they would be called the same thing.
I did not refuse to join the PM club I just declined to do so based on the little information I had at that time but was content to contribute to the server costs.

Many thanks for the link I will look at it
