Photo Radar Web Page Errors

There seems to be a problem with photo Radar's ability to serve web pages.
It is very slow and occassionally provides the following error message:

Database Error
The Photradar Forum database has encountered a problem....

As a newbie on the forum not sure if this is a regular feature or just a recent hiccup?

Anybody any idea's?

Phil

Hi Phil,

Welcome to the forum!

We were experiencing problems today as everybody rushed to get their last minute entries into Photographer of the Year 2010.

The competition's been open since April but huge numbers of people uploaded images last night and today resulting in the slowness and errors you saw, so no, it's normal behaviour.

The competition is closed so we should see normal service resume!

Thanks,

Amy
