I've been having trouble with the forums, Over Capacity messages, Unavailable messages, Search box has too many requests.
I'm just wondering if there is a problem? Or has The Thieves Guild DLC garnered this much interest?

    you look at the view counts on the threads doesnt even reach 1000
    so, my belief [and guess] is that it is not more traffic on this forum, but rather, more traffic on the forum server itself that houses many many forums, and eso forum is simply one of the forums hosted by that company which is getting the traffic.

    Working as intended.

    We updated the website; if someone says "Nerf" and "Nightblade" in the same post then forum will go off line for a few minutes.

    It's time for another forum maintenance. My personal page hasn't been updating correctly for a month of so. It doesn't display the correct flag, discussion, or post counts, in addition to the web loading issue tagged in OP.

    Something went on yesterday for a couple of hours/ 2pm-4pm est NA time. There was an actual issue with the forums run by vanilla forums, and they were looking into it. I ended up getting the errors 502 outage to do overcapacity on the server for most of that time, and then 503 when they took the forums down to try to fix them. On their graph, they were showing a huge jump in traffic to their servers, so I definitely assumed it was a DDos.

    I usually have to force-reload my profile page to get all the various counts to update, I figured it was just some overly-aggressive cache headers coming from the server.

    Have had this problem intermittently for the last few days. Funny thing is, sometimes I get a page with a link to Vanilla (which I guess hosts the forums) and over there they have statistics saying everything is a-okay with their service. Denial much?

    [EDIT]This is the link I've been getting: http://status.vanillaforums.com/

    It says no incidents reported today, which is strange, seeing as the problems seem to be widespread enough for people to make several threads about them.
