| Me too! Same time period! It was pretty bad! Keep the reports coming fellas, BUT PLEASE know that this is strictly a bandwidth issue, NOT a bug, AND that we are just going to have to live with it for awhile longer, perhaps, but hopefully not, until July when my account with Hostica comes up for renewal. I just have too much other stuff on my plate still, but everything is coming to a head. Just know that it will eventually be taken care of! Point being, I just don't want this productive reporting to degenerate into a bitch-session.

The problem isn't bad at all right now, but I did get the message once during my surfing session today, and something just dawned on me. Based on what the tech at Hostica told me is causing the message to occasionally appear, I now just realized that getting this error message here is akin to getting the "overflow" message at, for example, FFToday (which does not happen often over there based on the kind of heavy-duty server I would guess he is running on, but it is the perfect analogy). I think that is exactly what it is. In any event, keep the reports coming, but realize that 1) we are on a shared server, and 2) I do plan to upgrade no later than July providing the problem does not become absolutely unbearable before then, in which case I will do so a.s.a.p from that point. Thank you for all of your understanding, patience and cooperation!

This issue is VERY unpredictable. It seems like usually I have no problems at all. BUT, then there are other times I come through and I get it on like every fuckin' click, and it does not seem to matter whether the board is hoppin' with five or so guests/members or I am just alone. Again, as memtioned five posts above, we are just going to have to tough it out, at least until July. Thank you for your understanding and patience, fellas!

Well, I noticed while the "Internal Server Error" has not been too much of a pest lately, it has returned with some force today. I have gotten it a good five times in my hour or so of surfing the site today. Every time, I was able to cure it by just backing out of it with my "Back" button and hitting "Refresh/Reload". One shot took care of it each time, so it wasn't that bad. Again, I explained what is going on with this in thorough throughout this thread. So, please be considerate (of my predicament) and read through it all first before posting if you do not know the deal. Bottom line, just sit tight; we just have to grin and bare it until mid-July. Thank you for your anticipated understanding and cooperation!

Also, feel free to report what you are experiencing today. I have gotten it about 10 to 12 times today, which equals about 20% to 25% of my total clicks. At least, it has gone away with one "Back Out" each time! |
| Been pretty active for me too. Nothing too serious. Most I've gotten in a row is 4 or 5, so I can handle that. I think it is that Aerosmith/Run DMC Video that is wreaking all the havoc.

Guys, to be honest I have not incurred this problem much at all lately, but I did realize something that might ease things both for you the visitor and this "Little Train That Could" server of ours. Always AVOID surfing/browsing "the Gridiron" or even refreshing a page on "the Gridiron" using the refresh button of your browser. Always use the links! If you want to "refresh" the "index"/"main" page of the forum, i.e. http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi, which would be a fairly common occurrence I would think, just use one of the links. And, if you did not know, the "the Gridiron/GBRFL @ Fantasyfootballer.com" graphic in the upper left-hand corner and the newly-added, small "the Gridiron/GBRFL" graphic at the very bottom of the page both link to the "index" page: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi, further mitigating your need to use your "refresh" button. The reasons behind this are kind of complicated to explain, but suffice it to say, when you use your "refresh" button, it is harder on a server because you are literally "reloading" each and every "element" of a page (this is not always the case when visitors are on LAN lines, though, so ); whereas, links utilize "Temporary Internet Files" (on your computer) and put less of a "strain" on a server. I hope this helps... us all! Thank you all for all of your anticipated cooperation and compliance!

| Fellas, In accordance with my recent epiphany indicated four posts above, when incurring this problem, I would actually recommend backing out, using your browser's "Back" button, and then just continuing by way of clicking a link rather than refreshing! -"Bi-dee, bi-dee, bi-dee... That's all folks!" Steg

Guys, we are havin' a rough one today, no two ways about it! We just got to get to June 14th (not July as I was initially claiming)! That is when my old account expires and I WILL UPGRADE! Anyway, just want to keep you guys abreast... or two ! Feel free to report on what you are experiencing, BUT as I have emphasized before, let's not let this thread degenerate into a bitch session. I know what's up and it WILL be taken care of. Remember it is not really a "problem", i.e. "faultiness"; it is more akin to an "overflow error", which is not uncommon on these-type boards, although a little excessive here, especially today. Sorry!

| Report, please! Don't bitch! Bitching does none of us any good and bitching about this problem definitely does not attract people to the site! Try to always think of the bigger picture here! Thank you!
