Weird Error, only me?
 

I've been getting this error recently:

it only happens on some pages of some threads, is it just me getting that? is it a known issue?

It's working just fine for me. Never gotten this type of error. You using Chrome? Cause Chrome has issues with loading pages sometimes for reasons you could not possibly figure out by yourself. I was unable to get into a thread I'd made myself cause there was a "~" in the title and apparently Chrome can't handle a link that has this character in it. Try using another browser and see if there's something all these threads with which you get the error have in common.

This kind of error usually happens when the server really is busy for some reason. Somehow I doubt that there is a dedicated server for this forum - it is probably split between multiple sites... One of which may have gotten a flood of traffic making it hard to get in... The database itself (containing threads and posts) may be on an entirely different server or split between a few, so it`s easy to explain the problems with specific threads.

As it is pretty clear the error is coming from the server, it has nothing to do with the browser. You were just unlucky and tried to access the site when the server was busy for some reason. It happens every once in a while.

It doesn't seem to have happened since that post, but it happened a dozen times or more before...

If it happens again I'll try to figure out a pattern of some sort to help out lol

Sorry for posting here but I didn't want to start a new thread when the title of this one was perfectly suited.


Everytime I click on a thread that I have previously visited, the site takes me back to view an older post witin that thread rather than the most recent one.

Is anyone else getting this problem?

I am, I just assumed it was my browser.
