Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
When too many requests are sent to the Community Docs, the user is greeted with the following error: Warning: You triggered the wiki's surge protection by doing too many requests in a short time. Please make a short break reading the stuff you already got. When you restart doing requests AFTER that, slow down or you might get locked out for a longer time! In cases like accessing IconsPage - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IconsPage - the surge protection can trip and prevent users from being able to view all the icons on the page. The behavior here is that some icons simply don't show (like those at the bottom), but if you right click and View Image on one that didn't show, you will get the above error. If all icons show on your first visit to the page, try refreshing, and you will probably trip the surge protection. This is extremely frustrating when doing work on the Community Docs, then getting locked out for 10 or 15 minutes. ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Community Docs surge protection is too restrictive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408083 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
