Had the same problems Wednesday and Thursday afternoon starting @ ~4PM CST.
Trading Guidelines:
1. Lower rating ships first - even if I am purchasing.
2. If you agree to buy something, you have 72hrs. in which to pay. If payment is not received in 72hrs., I will automatically post a Non-Payment/Backout thread.
3. Refs are left upon positive receipt of goods, NEVER beforehand!
4. I accept Paypal & USPS money orders and charge for shipping AT COST. I make no profit from it.
5. I trade NIB/new models at retail.

Noticed it also...can be a definite "WTF, dammit!" when you're hoping to get that PM back about a pending trade :)

Ditto over several days. Here's the last message I got:

Same here. Saw the same error messages as MEDEVL Thurs evening on the home system and early Fri morning on the office computer system.
Maybe the site is getting a little unstable again?

Significantly lower rating ships/pays first - this goes both ways.

I talked with Adam about this last night. The ISP is doing strange things and we are beginning to plan our quest outward for backups and possible mirrors.

Which doesn't solve the server crashes, but could at least provide a stopgap measure. :-?

I am also signing up for a notification service which will check the site to ensure that it is running and if it is not, page my phone.
