Hi Mike, We are working to get this fixed permanently in the very near future by distributing our infrastructure a bit more (1 month or less) and make improvements to the Tasking Manager code so it is less demanding on hardware in general (6 months).
We also spent time last week trying to prepare the server for GeoWeek knowing the load was going to be increased this week and met with limited options for safely (read: untested changes) increasing capacity. Over the last few months we have basically reached the limit of our existing infrastructure as the load on the Tasking Manager has increased due to increased use, which is, I do not want to say is good, but an encouraging sign really because it is a result of both organizations and mappers using the HOT Tasking Manager increasing a fair amount. I apologize for it making mapping and validating more difficult, it is very high priority for us, basically our top technical priority at the moment. I really wish we were able get some of these infrastructure improvements in place sooner but it just was not possible. Thank you for taking the time to write the email, we should have communicated our awareness of the issue and our effort to get the situation fixed more.
