F-H Website issues/malicious attack???

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

F-H Website issues/malicious attack???

Post by Doug »

This morning I have received three or four warnings about proceeding to a F-H thread to which I have replied. I did the "not recommended" course of action and proceeded to the link. And each time I am ringing up the site it is taking much, much longer than normal.

I am wondering if the website is being attacked? I have seen this on gun boards before..........

The website has been abnormally slow this morning and I have received the following error message on more than one occasion:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

User ratkinson already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections [1203]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Glad to hear it was a passing problem. It took twelve minutes to load that first post this morning, and another ten before I could read it..........

Yes, still very slow here, like probably a full minute for any action.
