I Can't Send Private Messages.
« on: October 17, 2011, 12:51:24 AM »
It's been about three days now and everytime I try to send a PM I get redirected to a page that states all the following mess:

Quote
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@allposterforum.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.16 Server at www.allposterforum.com Port 80

I'm just curious if anyone else is having this issue or if it's just me.  I tried emailing the address indicated in the message but it bounced back.  I'd kinda like to use this feature, and would at least like to know if someone who runs the forum is aware of it and what the timetable is for getting it fixed...

Thanks

Charlie

Stop using fucking curse words!  kidding...  Are you trying to send the exact same message?  This has happened to me before.  You just have to delete a certain phrase and then it goes...

It's the kind that's on a budget and costs you nothing.  Seriously, shit happens.  Sorry that you experienced a problem, and hopefully it was a one-off kind of thing. If not, let me know.

Best regards,

Holiday

It's happening again.  I keep shortening my PM deleting sentences, not sure what it doesn't like.

Hello Holiday,  it's happening again...

I was trying to send a "short" message, but kept getting the Internal server error message....  If I had taken two sentences out there would not have been a message..

Worked for me, well it was sent...who the hell know if he got it. Did you get it Ari?  :D

Rather than PM the person check their profile their email addy may be visible and you can send direct.

Maybe do:
-  an exact cut and paste of you message for someone else to test in APF messaging, that might determine if it is just your pc/connection.
- If it happens for both of you then there could be a strange character in the message (possibly invisible). Copy & paste the message into Windows basic Notepad program, then copy and paste it out of there back into your APF message. That should strip out any weird characters.

I have this problem with regular posts around once a month. I paste the entire message into notepad and then try it again and it still happens.

I sometimes experiment and can get parts of it posted but not others.

It seems to be some kind of invisible formatting that even notepad doesn't remove!

It is not important enough to worry about, but it only happens on this forum and no other.

That's what happens when all of you are trying to make secret deals without me knowing it. If there's some super sweet deals to be had, post them publicly so I can make some bucks  ;)

I was just using x's, not one for every letter, otherwise there would only have been 3, as Ted only has 3 letter's...
