Error 500 - Internal server error

[tomot]

I get the following error several times a day, when I'm logged onto this forum, it occurs specifically when I visit other web pages or links within this forum.

Error 500 - Internal server error
Ein interner Fehler ist aufgetreten!
Bitte versuchen Sie es zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt.

which translated means

an error has occured
please try again at a latter time

Is anyone else experiencing this.... I'm curious!

I get the same message sometimes, but I just close the window and re-open firefox.

Seems to be a server problem. Takes 10 to max 20 seconds in my experience. Just hitting F5 occasionally, will reload the page when it's available again

Same here... At first I think it was because of Christian making some adjustements, but it happens too often. I agree that restarting Firefox seems to fix this.

i do not really now what causes it, sometimes the reload fixes it, but in my eyes it happens recently sometimes reproducible in the gallery, if you encounter reproduceable errors, please post them here!

Happens quite frequently to me, pretty much doing anything but usually while jumping around in the Galleries. I just close and reload the page or take a different route to where I'm trying to go, most likely a site software glitch but I'd prefer glitchy to Bloated and Slow like DA.

FYI: I don't think this is a Firefox issue. I belong to a number of forums, some use the same phpbb software.
This is the only forum that I have noticed this particular issue.

I wasn't indicating that it is a problem with firefox, but that I use firefox.

Simplemachines software is good and many places use one version or another but it is a bit twitchy at times but then they all are, no matter what you use. I was an Admin on a now defunct Art site a few years ago that used early vbulliten and when it twitched it just freakin Crashed, it's gotten better in later versions, a couple of my fav places use it now and it seems Stable and Lightning Fast. It's all a matter if preference and familiarity as to what you use, an occasional Page error as long as it's just occasional and not destructive isn't a huge deal.
