page loads fine here (using firefox)

Yeah, Firefox here too. But I tried and also got on with IE Beta 2.

I just used my bookmark to the official website & had no problems at all.

The site is up, its the forums that are down.

[Movie_Junkie]

The forum is down. It says it's because of hosting issues.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

The whole thing is down really but the forum is easier to turn off

I need to find some decent/cheap dedicated hosting.

I could also try a virtual server but I'm not sure if I'd run into the same 'excessive resource usage' problems
I don't know enough about them.

[Chewy]

It would seem the "resource usage" problem would be imgburn downloads?
That's only gonna get worse with time.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Nah, it's just general usage.

Too many visitors for 'shared' hosting - or so I am told.

[Chewy]

the forum doesn't get that much use, are you sharing with some porn sites?

or somebody is hotlinking?

[Gary D]

With firefox

I don't consider the forum busy at all, and yet it still ranks as the number 1 resource hog on their shared servers.

Maybe everyone that visits it goes straight for the 'search' button and so keeps it busy all the time... who knows.

Don't forget there's also a website and that's where most people would be visiting - in order to get the download etc.

Hotlinking is not permitted, so that's not the problem.


Gary D, that page must be in a cache somewhere. It's not the real response you'd get from the servers if everything was up-to-date.

Wish we could teach them that here LUK. Lost count of the MOAG threads, for example.

Hello Gary D

This morning I got the same message u got. Imgburn forum is my homepage 4 IE 7. So when I got online 2day I got that message and got pi$$ed off at cox high speed 4 suspending my internet. Called them on the phone. They had me unplug my modem and restart my computer and bla bla bla. I finally decided it was a browser glitch, but after using firefox and got same message, I finally wised up and messaged a friend from there and they started laughing at me because they thought they already new what was going on. At that point I had 2 laugh at myself 4 being so d@mn dumb. I guess I shouldn't get on my computer before my first cup of

[Chewy]
