Besides working on the *big* AOS update coming soon, I have been trying to tend to "production" issues as well. I happened to find a few "nasty" bugs that I know helped contribute to the "403.9...too many users connected" error you have been seeing lately. Fixed that. Let me know if you can notice a difference now. You might still catch a "403.9" every once in a while, but it should be far less than before. Wanna know what it was? Gearheads can read more...

Basically, there is code in several places that checks if a user is a verified member before allowing them into certain areas. If they aren't it will redirect them. In almost all spots, the code redirects them long before openning any database connections. However, on the one most used area...the Price Guide details...it was redirecting AFTER openning a connection and not destroying/closing the connection object....hence, a hung/open object. What makes this worse is that the internet bots/spiders SLAM that page all the time. Soooo that multiplied the problem. A bot would come along with like 25+ requests for differect connections and each one was left open. Ugggg. So ....found and fixed. Hopefully that clears up most all the issues for now.
