This appears to be a duplicate post originally intended for https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/unable-to-edit-projects/50615/9 . This post is about trouble accessing the website, which was a temporary problem lasting a couple minutes that should have since been resolved. Please let us know if there are any more problems access the website.
Yes just before I made this post I kept receiving the same webpage saying there was too much traffic. I was unable to reproduce the issue after making the post but it typically happens around 12pm PST and 5pm PST when I’m sure the user load is at its highest.
