Wot the FOC-U is going on?

[tommyardin]

This is happening more and more often to me is anyone else having this problem?
Some times when I reply or quote to a post, I write out my response, read it through, correct any typos, change what I have said, hoping it is more legible. Then hit post to be confronted with this:


[size=2em]Internal Server Error[/size]  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@foc-u.co.uk to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


The time it is occurring is more and more often over the last 3 or 4 days. And each time it happens my post is lost/dumped/gone  :'(


In fact it is having the effect of pissing me off and not wanting to bother making any more posts.


And the majority clapped their hands jumped up and down and shouted AMEN!  :eek


in fact I have just copied this message and pasted it into a Word document just in case it goes tits up again when I hit post.
Here goes
 
update it worked this time, but I'm not holding my breath I will continue writting my posts in MS Word save it and cut and paste it into FOC-U untill its sorted if of course it is a Forum issue and not just mine.

Yeah, i've been getting it too.
Is annoying if you've just written a long post.

[darrsi]

[tommyardin]

Not a solution, but I usually type a long posts into notepad or something similar - burnt by too many bad experiences in the past.

Hey Jeff, Long time no see matey, hope all is well with you and yours.
Just to say thanks again for all your help and advice with my suspension upgrade over winter, also for finding a source for the Ohlins Linears, the SV650’s at 8.5 N/mm are absolutely perfect, along with the Emus the modding has been a huge success.
The FZS 600 has gone from a good bike with OK handling, to a brilliant bike with excellent handling, inspiring is the word, I can’t keep off the thing now.  :thumbup
I also now do all my posts in MS Word and copy and paste them into the forum, safest way.

Just happened again, on the laptop this time!

Intermittent issue like that is usually an indication that the server is busy and can't cope with the demand.

Really? Can't imagine a huge surge of people trying to comment on here?

[Jamieg285]

Is this the only site on the server though?  I doubt we've got dedicated hosting.

I normally write in TextEdit in plain text: that way you not only don't lose what you've written if the site hiccups, but you don't get the teeny-weeny font fault that often appears if you try to edit directly in the Reply window.

Maybe we're being hacked!  :rollin :rollin :rollin

Hey there Tommy, I did try & reply to you the other day but I got ...that message  :lol
Glad to hear the mod has worked well for you, it's true that decent suspension mods can totally transform this bike
