Anything we can do right now? I guess the hope is that there was a change made on the server which can be fixed or reversed, right?

We really should have somewhere we can display a status message -- one like:

"We know about the max_connections message, please be aware there will be many skipped message numbers, working on it."

I've looked at the daily numbers, and we must have been hitting over our max_connections every damned moment. Here's the table for the month:

Should we go to peoplesforum for awhile and see if it still happens?

The page is displaying only posts 4994, 4999, 5002, 5006, 5007, 5008, 5009, 5011, 5014, 5015, 5018, 5019, with 5019 being the last post.

Many of us have tried to submit posts, only to have it fail during the "post message" process. The thought above, is that if it fails after the number is assigned, the post still doesn't get posted, but the board considers that number assigned.

Someone said it better upstream, Jon. I think it was Liese.

All the cool kids get this message, right?

Huh. If I'm getting it, does that mean I'm cool?
