Posting issues

Trust me, it's a good thing.

Just wondering - has the 500 error magically gone away for anyone?  Since I'm not getting it - it's hard for me to judge the frequency of it.

I'm looking into launching our newer platform this week if possible.  

I've been getting it today, but the posts that generate the error seem to be posting.


ETA - Including this one.

Why did you guys roll your own code when there are dozens of freeware message board solutions out there?

There's nothing out there that comes close to doing what we're working on. 

How so?  Just curious as a board owner who uses one of the big "freewares".

Integrating a freeware message board into our proprietary Platform just wouldn't make sense to us.  I've gone this route before and unless there's a strong partnership between that company and myself - it's very hard to customize it properly for our needs.  More will be revealed in the near future and I'll be able to go into more detail about what separates our platform from practically anything else out there.


ping me on pm if you need any partner introductions to Andreessen Horowitz.


I don't think I meant integrating it into, I meant why create a whole new one? Why not use what's out there as a platform? What do you think they are lacking?

I haven't seen a platform that does what I'm trying to do.  I'll explain this in more detail when we're up and running.  Right now there's still a few parts to put into place, and a bunch of tweaks.


I'm having difficulty posting. I keep getting 500 server errors and can not post a video. 


I have been logged in on my IPad, so I can post from it like I am doing now, but when I try to login from my desktop, I get the 500 internal server error, no matter what browser I use.


I also get the error message whenever I post, though the posts do appear


I just got the "500" error for the first time, but the post went live anyway.


That's like Hank Aaron's 500th home run agains the SF Giants.

That's what happens to me every time I post lately.


The add comment box wasn't showing up on this thread for me for a while but now (obviously) it is and I can post here again.  It seemed like this was happening on some threads but not others.


Sadly (or maybe it's for the best), the comment box is NOT currently available to me on the "Bernie Sanders, champion of the downtrodden" thread and a lot of posts there are making me want to respond and I can't!

Here's a trick. Go to the page before the page you want to post on. You will find the comment box on the bottom and when you post it will show up in the right spot!


Was ok for a while on my iPhone but now back again.


weirdest site ever. Took forever to relog on with error 500message. Can't log on via desktop, only phone. Can't comment on all the threads, just a few. Can't read entire threads, they cut off. It's easier applying for a mortgage on line than logging on to this site .

Thanks for the heads up - we're working on it - welcome back!

Long time no see! Although this post sounds more like your hubby.


Are we on the updated software now?  I haven't gotten the 500 error on my last few posts (knock on wood!)

No - but I did make a tweak a couple of hours ago.  Since I can't reproduce the error - it's hard for me to know if it had any impact.  Anyone else notice an improvement?


Not getting the errors, if that helps. They were intermittent anyway, though.


Haven't gotten the 500 error in a while.

I'm unable to log in with an Iphone 5S or 6, and also cannot see past the first page of posts. 


Earlier I could see more posts on this thread. Now the last one I see is where I thanked Jamie..


I see the last post I just sent but I did get a 500error while posting it. 


I have had the 500 error for the past two days, and this is the first time that I see the submit button.
