I've made another change today, block the robot that was eating all the bandwidth, let me know if you still got issue. thanks

Prog On !

Nah, probably means 500 of us have just died. Tongue

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Definitely seems to have got better

^ Yes- will do when this 500 error is fixed

Prog On !

I do not wish to install Firefox or have any intrusive plug-ins to block or disable scripts. I want the site to work with a vanilla installations of IE and Chrome each time and every time, which is what every site on the Interweb should do.

Recently I haven't used the site enough to know whether the Error 500 and all the other irritations have been fixed, when there are problems with the site people use it less so there is less opportunity for me to post.

I still get timeouts when posting and I suspect I always will because sometimes I can take a very long time to compose a reply - using Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C to save a post before hitting [Post Reply] has become second nature to me, but having to do that is annoying and it should be unnecessary.

However the time-interval between first loading a page and getting a timeout message when attempting to post a reply has been becoming alarmingly short - often this mere seconds, which is as near as damn it instantaneous. This is enough to make the site unfriendly and practically unusable.

What?

How was yesterday ? any issues ?

Hopefully forum timeouts will be fixed in the next forum software I will install (soon)

We are running 9.69 and it's now 10.18 the latest version.

Prog On !

So sick of time-outs when PM'ing - sometimes after one sentence......sometimes after a damn thesis

CTRL-A CTRL-C is your friend!

I've got in th habit of doing this before I hit "Post Reply" but it's usually the one I forget that gets the permissions error.

Darn! I tried to add an album and I got the 500 error.... Doesnt happen often but it did tonight.

Hey guys I tried to login the main website and update my rates but the server aways go 500 - Internal server error...

I just can't login this site for 4 months till now. There's a way to fix that?

Edit: The search bar is not working either

	I hope you bring back the most popular artists. I do not get the 500 - Internal server error, but I use noscript with Firefox and block several scripts.

	Thanks! One suggestion, install Firefox with noscript. One by one, you can manually allow each script to execute. I do not know much about your setup or if this will help, but I have not experienced the issue.

	I am not suggesting Firefox and noscript to everyone. The suggestion is for troubleshooting purposes. Noscript is the best program for toggling each script on and off one by one.
