Yeah, it started for me at the start of the year, and I contacted Vain about it--and it stopped. It started happening to me again a couple of weeks later, and has done it infrequently since. I'd say once a day is about right.#

Edit: Okay, the Watch was jsut completely inaccessible for a couple of minutes, and when it finally came back the page loaded with that error.

For the record, I just got both 'Internal Server Error' and the code thing within a minute.

Several times now, when I click on the link that is sent to me for the topics I'm watching, a message will pop up saying that that thread doesn't exist. Is there anything I can to prevent this?

No posts exist for this topic
just showed up when I tried to go from page to page within a topic. Is there anything I can do about these nonexistent pages that I happen to know really do exist?

I've had that happen on occasion as well, but only as I am going to the last page of a topic. Two things work for me.

1. Someone deleted a post that was the only post on the last page, so no page actually does exist.
2. I write a post and enter it. If there are posts there, this will bring them up. I can always delete the post if it makes no sense.

Thanks, Menolly, that's probably what it was. I'll try that next time.
The other nonexistent-page thing (from a link in the e-mail notifications) is still an issue though. What kind of info is needed for a useful answer?

If I remember correctly, we experienced that same problem several times in a riddle of the plastic chinese food boxes thread. I think it resolved itself, though. *shrugs*

No probs. Send my way when it happens again.

We sometimes do have the mystery of the disappearing threads, as wyldewode indicated, and it's usually fixed by what menolly mentioned - just make a post and hey presto ! Everything appears fixed :) Don't know why that happens but it's a minor glitch

yeah, but I thought I was immune, because I wasn't getting it when everyone else was...and come to find out that I was wrong....It rather disheartened me.

I haven't been getting it, but I did get the weird html code once today. A quick refresh sorted it out.

That's a variation on the other buggy screen but fortunately it disappears with a refresh.

I think if you get it regularly then upgrade your browser becaus eI think it has something to do with your browser.

Internal Server errors are network overloads but tend to be short-lived
