Been meaning to post this for many many months now.

Myself and another user in Australia, randomly get this error when trying to load a forum posting, even after successfully loading one and then getting the next one.

SendMessage(2) failed

It happens when there is a delay in 'loading' the post.

What would be causing this - lots of users on the forum?

Hi, Barry.

This message may be caused because, for whatever reason, our internal server isn't responding to the CGI request. There are a lot of possible reasons, some of which may include:

- we're working on the server, perhaps doing an upgrade or installing new software;

- there are a large number of requests, either for the forum or other things that we have that might "hit" that server;

- other communication issues (we have our web server, and our engine server, and our file server, distributed over several systems)

We know that, whatever the cause, it's a bit annoying, so we try to diagnose and resolve the issue whenever it occurs. If you see it happening for more than a few minutes, you can shoot us an email (at info at revelation dot com) just in case we haven't noticed it, so we can make sure anything that needs restarting _is_ restarted…

Thanks,
