Is it just me?

I always get the time-out error on here around midnight myLot time. It doesn’t last for long at all; in fact, I usually just log out then all will be alright again as soon as I log back in. But it happens nonetheless - like a clockwork... Seems to me there’s some kind of server updates or maintenance perhaps scheduled around that time. I wonder if anyone else notices it too…

It is also possible that it's your provider that changes the IP address every day at midnight for security reasons.

Oh, I don't even know about that possibility. It happens midnight myLot time though which is late afternoon here... Would it still be possible then?

@sishy7 Yes, is still possible, it depends when the provider decides to do this.

@LadyDuck I didn't know about this either. But I guess that's a possibility.

Ah, and you're definitely on CST zone as you're in the same state as myLot...

I think it is a busy time and probably as you say, server updates etc. Though I many times get blank pages with the message about "time out" in red. Thankfully during the past few days, I am not getting too many of those Database errors with almost a page long Message. Btw, How do you know the MyLot time on this version? I dont find any clock like they had on the earlier version (the footer displayed the Server Time).

Oh, I just go by the date/time stamp on discussion posts. This one says 12 minutes after midnight CST.

@sishy7 myLot is based out of Kansas City, Missouri. At least that is what I was told some time ago, @thesids ...

I have not been on myLot as often, but I do get time out/error in the evenings for me around 8PM PST.

8pm PST would not be midnight CST yet, would it? Oh well, maybe it happens on different times then...

I don't even log out, I just refresh or close the tab and re open it. It was late, but I don't think it was quite midnight when it happened for me.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Oops, my bad! Yes, it takes place just as midnight is approaching, perhaps 5 minutes before... not exactly at midnight like what happened to Cinderella...

It lasts only briefly so it doesn't really bother me - I'm just curious about the consistency for it to happen around midnight...

I didn't read all of the responses yet so I am not sure whether anyone has already told you or ot but the reason for it being the same time every day is... that is the time that the hamsters are fed

I had faced it too a couple of times yesterday. I thought it, may be my wifi is not working properly, so switched it off and switched on and it worked. I didn't think might be it is because of the server updates or maintenance. May be you are right, I don't know.

I can't stay up that late anymore! I haven't actually written down the times - but for me it happens throughout the day - particularly in the early morning. In fact, I had one about 5 minutes ago!

I started to comment on this response when it happened again and, yes, it was about 2 minutes before midnight... I quickly took a screen shot of the error message...

@AbbyGreenhill Oh, it's okay. The red letters on the bottom of the screen shot were the error message. I was just so excited to see it showing up again right around midnight myLot time when I tried to post a comment to your response.

It doesn't happen too often to me. Mostly if I just refresh the page I can carry on without any problems.

@sishy7 So you need to input your name and password every time you sign in? That option frees you from this labour and is safe when you're using your own computer or cell phone.

Yeah, the site has been pretty stable and even when the error comes up at that time it was very brief with hardly causing any issues at all.

Sounds like you probably have not encountered any timeout errors then.
