500 – Internal Server Error

January 29th, 2020

Well i’m sure you’ve all seen this because it’s not my computer… other phpBB websites i’ve been on have never given me this.
I usually have to try to post about 5 times before it goes through instead of getting an error, same with clicking topics or links, i have to refresh 2 – 3 times.
I’ve probably gotten the error myself around 50 times now so im assuming you have a huge error log by now, if any site mod could read the error log and see what’s going on it would be great… this is really annoying
My best guess would be the mass amount of visitors downloading content at once giving it a gigaloading effect, but i’ve been on forums with over 3k viewers and it’s never done something like that or been that sluggish

Answer #1

Answer #2
My search doesn’t work… no matter what time of the day i try it says the indexes are being updated, too tired to search now sorry =\
Answer #3
Yep, it’s a server problem. You don’t get this on other sites because none of the other sites are as big or as popular as this and the serverload is much lower on them. Read this sticky thread:

Also, just be patient mate, they’ll go away soon
Good luck mate ^_^

Yeah, its getting a bit annoying now.yes loll its been very annoying today especially.
i like to open a lot of links in new tabs (FF), preload the page before im ready to read it, but it keeps getting stuck on the 500s, nothing much you can do about it though.
i think its a sign for me to do some work
