This last few days, whenever I try to access the site in the evening, I get blocked and a message appears saying "Resource Limit Is Reached". Anyone else having this trouble? (And what does it mean anyway?)
Ditto.
The same.
I suspect when the new hosting site has temporarily reached it's limit.
Ditto also. I don't pretend to understand servers, or what LPrent wrote about them, but figured it was that.
Bear in mind, I’m not a networking or server guy: to me, it’s basically witchcraft.
But a 508 error usually means the server has maxed out its CPU or RAM and starts blocking requests until it recovers.
My guess is that either some of the plugins LPRent had to disable to get the site running again have opened the door to bot or spam traffic, or the temporary host just doesn’t have the horsepower to keep up with the load.
Could also be something else going on under the hood. Either way, I'm sure they have it well in hand.

We’re all suffering from the same issues until the dust settles in the South.
Yes same, but I figure it'll get sorted out eventually. Crazy how complicated it all is. Appreciated!
Same here. It will come right soon, I’m sure.
Yeah I wrote quite a detailed response and pressed send and got that. No way of getting the comment back either so 15-20 minutes wasted. Slightly annoying but will come right.
Ouch, maybe CTRL A + CTRL C before post? But yeah I reckon it'll get sorted at some point.
I first started reading the Standard during the Key years (I miss grouchy Bad12!) when I was feeling despondent & lost as there was nothing "left" on NZ politics, was surrounded by Cactus Kate & Whaleoil was so depressing!
Thanks to the hardworking people/person keeping this site going, appreciated.
Again, ditto.
The Standard is a small island of sanity in an ocean of Trumpism!
it is annoying. Best to either write in a text app and copy and paste here, or copy and paste out of the TS text box before submitting comment.
Lynn is working on it, but until he gets moved I think the site will have lots of timeouts that loses comment drafts.
If after pushing publish , you get a blank screen, just wait a bit hot reverse key on your ph it'll show your comment still in box just refresh screen and it shoes up, atleast that's what's happening on my Samsung
I've learned the hard way over the years to always copy before posting. Saves a lot of frustration!
After what seemed a brief interlude, Auckland CBD crime and antisocial behaviour is worse than ever.
The business owners and Aucklanders in general who are being affected need look no further than coalition government policy, specifically the crashing of the economy, the thousands of evictions from emergency housing, and the reduction of social housing.
