It's happening again this morning.
So I saw a bumper sticker today that said, I'm a Veterinarian so I drive like an animal.

Were you trying to use the "strike through" feature? That's what usually causes it.

Well I see the upgrade hasn't stopped the "You can't use search right now, the server has an overload". :-X

I saw a server with an overload once but she never dropped a thing. :biggrin:

It should work fine now. Someone was abusing our sites and causing some issues. They have been taken care of.

Any time "search" gave a "not right now" type of message, I've just used the back button and tried again and it worked. May have just been lucky?

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.
