“Due to extreme load, this is temporarily being shown to everyone as a logged out user would see it.” Whats the fix for this? Im using digital ocean on a 4gb memory, 80gb disk plan. I refreshed page once and got the warning that the page was being viewed as a logged out user would see. I refreshed…

This means that page (usually a topic) was getting clobbered by a lot of users, so it switched into high performance anonymous mode for a bit to reduce load.

Thanks. Was worried something more serious was happening,

I’ve been experiencing this recently as well. Our forum is private (you have to be logged in to see any of it) so that “getting clobbered by a lot of users” is not a plausible scenario.

I’m on DO and have a $5 1GB droplet. Resizing to a 2 GB droplet is $10. I’ll consider the upgrade if this keeps happening. Thanks for the tip.
