Has Anyone Else Had Problem Getting Into the LUF Site or Navigating Between Forums?

First instance was yesterday when I tried to access the site.  Message said something about maximum users and try again later.  Sorry I did not take a screenshot.  I tried about  a 1/2 hour later and got the same message.  Now I'm freezing up trying to navigate between threads.  I opened another tab and tried a completely different site and it opened fine.

I’ve had to reset my password a couple of times recently. 
 

Maybe @LUF Adminis having some database glitches.

Yes, yesterday I got the message regarding something about “Maximum Users,” and to “Try again later.” Rather than wait until later, I think that closed the page, and then was able to successfully re-open and navigate the site, but it may have taken two attempts to sign-in again.

Thanks for confirming.

I had the same issue yesterday and a few days earlier - I just left it a while.

Yes, our provider had some short down times. Is now running without problems for two days.

If anything occurs feel free to contact me directly via PM.

The biggest problem I'm having is with this new design with the topics are listed at the side of the page. I find it much less user friendly than the previous version. In my opinion, this falls into the category, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I can’t say I’ve noticed any change for years, really.

Yes, the same thing has happened to me a couple of times. I also find the list of topics at the right side of the page completely unsatisfactory. Are we supposed to check every box that interests us? Or do we just check one at a time to get to that part of the forum?

It's also considerably slower that the previous version. Moving from one topic to another I've been experiencing delays.

FYI -- For the last few days I've had instances where it is very slow accessing the forum.  It's slow enough that I think my computer is hung up, but before I x-out I'll open a new tab and go to a favorite site and get right in.  I go back to the LUF tab and it still shows it's trying to access.  I have high speed internet and I'm not running any applications.
