problem with WIKIs not working

I tried to use the Wiki in the TIOLI group in the new 75 books challenge for 2024 group and it didn't work. Says Cannot access the database: Too many connections. I've noticed the same problem on a few of of the early year Wikis in the 2024 category challenge group.

Same, https://wiki.librarything.com/ is giving me the following:

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

>2 norabelle414:

I get the identical message. I doubt my system details matter in this case, but:

M1 Mac
Mac OS Ventura 13.6.1
FireFox 121.0

Gateway time-out with a 504 error code. I'm trying to post for the Reading Through Time group.

>4 CurrerBell:

I'm getting a timeout now, too, rather than the error message described in >2 norabelle414: and >3 waltzmn:, so perhaps there has been a change. Not really an improvement, though. :-)

>5 waltzmn: The same here, yesterday that message as in >2 norabelle414:, today Gateway time-out, error message 504.

I had a quick look (alerted by the 'Personal Reading' thread in the Green Dragon group) and then had a look at my list of wikis. None of them are loading; there's no message but the progress bar doesn't move.

Any idea (from the admin) for how long it will take to resolve this situation? Just curious.

They're on vacation this week, I assume they will fix it as soon as they're back next week.

>9 norabelle414: Yeah, not a terribly big deal. I do want to get a recent read posted to the Reading Through Time Wiki, but it'll easily wait; and everything else on the site's working well, letting me do a substantial amount of cataloging, tagging, and boxing over the holidays.

>9 norabelle414: Sounds good. Thanks, Nora. They deserve a nice vacation. They put so much work into this site all year. We'll survive a few weeks without our wikis.

Sorry about this. Ganawa has been looking at this, but so far has been unable to restart it. Updates when I get them.

Our wikis are now working. Thank you so much, Tim & Company!

Thanks to the LT staff for fixing this problem with the wiki's.
