No, I'm having problems as well. I got in but when I click on a course it takes a really long time and then doesn't load anything.

Quote:
Users accessing WebCT today may experience slow performance, timeout issues, or rare gateway errors. The cause of these issues is the unprecedented levels of usage we've been monitoring since the beginning of the exam period.
Users are advised to plan ahead where possible and attempt to access WebCT during different times of the day. Peak usage of the system tends to occur during the afternoon and early evening.
We apologise for any disruptions this may cause during this important time of the year.

Who the hell built/manages WebCT?
Let me guess...UTS?...
Don't they realize we're not in StoneAge anymore?
There are more than 5000 people on the face of the Earth that want to access WebCT at once....
EPIC FAIL!
Maybe they should try and improve WebCT rather than make a solar car.

WebCT is actually used by a LOT of post-secondary institutions...there' s a hell of a lot more people that use it.

And there's also more than 5000 undergrads at Mac. The number is closer to 18000 with part-time students.

Ah the ol' "server can't handle a decent amount of connections" problem. Can't wait for June!
