Please put a notice on the F@H website

I know you guys have been surprised by the number of new users, but a simple message on the F@H webpage would do wonders.

I know this is a bit greedy, but most new users expect for things to "just work" out of the box, and when i was getting no work units available (for any project) i assumed that there was something wrong with my settings or my computer.

please put this message:

"We've been overwhelmed with the support we're getting from new Donors. :mrgreen:

Several servers ran out of [Work Units] overnight. The issue is being addressed as fast as the project's owner can get to it. Unfortunately the server(s) may have to be taken off-line while the new WUs are being generated.

Please bear with us."

as a banner at the top of the webpage.

Thanks guys

The guys who could do that quickly is hammering on the servers and the passkey server trying to help them keep up. Hopefully someone will get a chance to do something like that.

expectation management would go a long way.

I know i have spammed this project to people i know, so the wave of new users isnt likely to let up any time soon.
