You guys are doing a great job and you're probably already aware of this. Anyway, it seems to only happen when the user numbers (members and guests) exceed 3000.

Couple of nights in a row after this happens I get a few lagging connections then the whole site becomes unavailable. The disconnect is not very long but it's been a few nights (Uk nights) now.

Thanks again.

It's not specific to the amount of connections, we have corrected the problem it had and will continue to ensure it doesn't reoccur.

Yeah, the number of users is more than ever. I saw 3400 + this week. No doubt the server is reaching it's max. Also, the highs volume of traffic on BF''s is always during the Tour De France. What ever problems we are having now will be worse, then. :rolleyes:
