This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Message Boards Non-Responsive.

I continue to receive the message:
Connecting To Message Boards
Please wait a few seconds for the page to load
The message boards were working fine until 8:00 PM Pacific. Then the message boards became non-responsive. I suspect this may be related to fan enthusiasm for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).

If Star Wars: The Force Awaken is causing the boards to crash then IMDb should increase the Board Quota for that board and maybe limit the total number of post that can be made for that board.

I'm now receiving this message:
Section Closed

We're sorry, this section of IMDb is temporarily unavailable due to important maintenance work.

Occasionally we need to close parts of our site, although we do try to keep downtime to a minimum.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

In other words, the IMDb technical staff is aware of the problem and will restore access to the message boards as soon as practical.

Boards are still down today.  This is really bad - a problem of this severity should never go on for this long on a major international website.

It seems to be due to massive amount of traffic. Most likely because of Star Wars but it could just be a glitch/maintenance work being done. I can't view my board history along with having to refresh 7 times to get onto one thread.

Now what's causing the same thing 3 weeks later? The weather? Tried on both the app and webpage.
