'Temporarily down LibraryThing is experiencing some problems. We hope to be up soon.'

I get this message multiple times a day. Refreshing usually resolves whatever is the issue.

Windows 10, Firefox 99.0.1

>1 surly: In general or today? Today I've been seeing it too, but not in the past days

Today very frequently, in general just a few times per day.

Here's a possible explanation

LT staff are getting the same thing, I believe tied to server issues but I (or someone, if I'm out, hopefully) will post an official update once I get one from our sysadmin pedro.pessoa. Sorry for the trouble in the meantime.

>5 kristilabrie: Add the message: 'Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at www.librarything.com.' to the issue list. I have also been getting this frequently, just not as frequently as the 'Temporarily down' message.

I've been told that, worst case, this will be fixed within 3 days (hopefully sooner).

>7 kristilabrie: Thank you.

I have gotten

405 not allowed

on the add books page several times today. I'm assuming it is part of the same issue.

I've got 405 when trying to save book edit, which worked the second time with no problems.

I halted the process that was triggering these events—copying a lot of files, basically. It was an unacceptable situation. Our systems administrator will be finding another way to get the job done that doesn't impact site performance.

I'm grateful. Trying to enter several books with these issues going on was a real hassle. Now I can finish the job. (I was at the library yesterday.)
