Help answer this question below.
AB-Jon. Actually, the server is having issues of its own, so I guess the answer would be "Answerbag" keeps breaking itself. We're working on it!
I got it when I first signed on today. This is my second day so I don't know how common it is.
Sorry but I can't answer:

I have had it up to 6 or 7 times a day for the last fortnight
Yes, it makes me want to run down the street naked shouting "oh, the humanity"! Wait a minute, I did that this morning before I even turned on my computer. Damn, I'll have to consult my Magic Eight Ball on this one;)
This happens from time to time. Try to relax. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Now, since that almost never works, try cursing and slamming your keyboard. :)
They are having other problems as well, they just did an engine upgrade last week, so they probaly have their hands full.
Same here
Yeah, I might just kill my co-worker that's sitting close to me!
I've had to walk away over a dozen times or I would have tossed this machine out the window....it's still doing it and I guess it answers that question...am I a patient AB'er and the answer is no no no no no!!!
I just wanted to ask the question "Did you also notice a quite low availibility quote of Answerbag lately?" and I found this one, so here it is as an answer instead of a duplicate...
The AB Gods must be upset about something, EH!
If it's not brought here (looks like some are/were) see http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/606378.
I have been having a LOT of trouble today. Must be AB gremlins.
I saw it a few times this weekend and then it went away when I refreshed the page. I thought it meant they had too much traffic, does anyone know what it does mean?
It's obnoxious...
I got it once today, but haven't seen it since.
Yeah about 2.5 minutes ago! It was a long answer too.
Oh, don't tell me that Answerbag is in need of a government bailout, too !!
Ack i thought it was just my pc! Ok i feel better....but i have to find a way to get the dent out of the side now.....
Its really winding me up now, bed is looking like a strong possibility rite now :(
I guess this is ONE way to learn patience! ('-')
MAKES ME WANNA GROWLLLLLLL
I'm getting a bit frustrated, yeah...
yes. it's doin that too much now. pissin me off
I'm having issues too. Maybe they are working on the site : )
Its happened 3 times to me today i've been on for 10 minutes wake me when it's fixed
It's happening to me too, more so today than the last couple of days. I'm having to refresh a couple times where previously I only had to refresh once.
Perhaps something is slowing down the servers?
Me too, but I think it is ok now.
I've noticed that when this happens, if I hit "Refresh", it will either post my Q&A the second time or state "Your Q&A has already been posted. You can go there in 3 seconds (or something like that).
Gives me time to put away laundry or water the plants that I saved for doing later on...I like it!
hawaii.jake is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
they must be revamping or something,its happed two or three times already today.
All the time , it takes me all my time to think of a question and it is as if Joel and co are punishing mefor being lax.
I get that Engine upgrade all the time, three times tonight and it is still stopping me posting and reading comments half the time.
Yes, I guess AB didn't want to see my question
for me that is the time to get a cup of tea. or to start stumbling.
mostly i do both.
Honestly I was so fed up this afternoon that I was ready to quit AB. This has been going on for weeks. I do realize that they are upgrading the system and I have tried to be patient..BUT..today just got to me..AB was ignoring me..doing strange things and signing me out all the time....
See the answers at http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2316727 and related questions.
Yes, in fact so much so that I'm ready to give it a break for a few days til it gets fixed or whatever it needs.
I am giving up
I'm getting them today, but oh well. The server is probably just messed up right now. The AB staff have done and are still doing a great job and I'm patient, so I'll wait.
Maybe Demand Media, the owner of Answerbag, didn't pay their webhosting bills.
Its driving me mad, I can't do anything, I think I'll call it a night and try again tomorrow :-)
Doesn't effect me anymore, as I've noticed that when this happens, if I hit "Refresh", it will either post my Q&A the second time or state "Your Q&A has already been posted. You can go there in 3 seconds (or something like that).
Yes, frequently. I've noticed that when this happens, if I hit "Refresh", it will either post my Q&A the second time or state "Your Q&A has already been posted. You can go there in 3 seconds (or something like that).
no I have a life so I get on with it and try later
Sad... where will I go when I want to take a break from work or life?
Yes i have there must be something wrong with the site.
Happened to me the first time today. Here I thought it was God [or my wife, who THINKS she's God :-)] telling me to get off the dang computer and go do the chores! She's spooky...'n I LOVE this site. Her, too. :-)
It was aggravating me so I stomped all over it.
How do I cancel?

Joel, would it help if someone sends you a little sewing kit to mend the 'Bag when it breaks?

Whew! My life flashed before my eyes! Pathetic huh?
by cristnalyn on February 15th, 2007
No, we all panic and go and hide in the corner muttering strange things ;) I think it's some sort of telepathy now. We feel the inner horror that the mods do when they see they have a lot of fixing to do!
by Carmella on February 15th, 2007
I just hope I don't fall out the hole in the bag and can't get back in afore Joel sews it up. Darn it!
