"Error 500 - Internal server error
An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later."

Does anyone else get this message when trying to post something, or look at a topic on Oldclassiccar? Sometimes it's really bad, like tonight it took three attempts to post this, other times it's fine.

I've just started getting it tonight when ever I go to a subject, clicking the refresh button seems to work but it shouldn't be there in the first place

ocasionally I get it, but tonight it is there on every post I look at, refreshing eventually makes it go away, but I think I am going to bed early now anyway, Good evening all!

Error 500 is a server side error, perhaps Rick should have a word with his web space provider.

I have only noticed it on here in recent months and wondered if it occured at a time when Rick was accessing his files on the server.

I'm keeping an eye on the server logs for any trends that might be causing these error messages Rolling Eyes

If anyone gets this error during the rest of today - ie after 21.19pm UK time - could you pop a note on here please, just one or two notes will do, no need for everyone to chip in if there's still an issue.

The debug mode error crops up from time to time, the other ones were more annoying as a &^*&^#! in Nigeria was hammering away at the server trying to download every page, post and thread on the site in very short bursts. That's the one I'm keeping a close eye on at the mo..
