I sometimes get this if I have a great deal of tabs loading from TGC at the same time. Don't forget that UK DNS servers seem screwed up this week.

Hey, haven't really thought about it earlier, but what's with the adressed on this forum?
I would get it if it stated something like "forum_view.php?t=146107", but there's no reference to any actual file here?? (Just "?m=forum_view&t=...").

This happens to me occasionally, and I believe that is merely the result of your internet connection taking too long. If your connection is too slow, the connection to TGC will time out. Just try refreshing the page.

I think it's a case of the servers being pretty slow sometimes (probably due to high load ). It used to happen to me a lot.

In all probability it's a rough attempt to stop people DOS attacking the server.

This is almost certainly nothing to do with user error. This warning happens because the script has been executing on the server for 30 seconds or more, and php is set to stop it after that time. This is happening because the server couldn't load the page fast enough, (it timed out). One way to solve it would be to increase the time-out to 60 seconds, though it can increase the load on the server, particularly if the server's under stress already.

I noticed it too, perhaps they're fixing things
