Fluffy, Brian Lenz posted his reply a couple of hours ago so let's hope things are now sorted.

I won't be back here today so I'll have a look here tomorrow morning to see if there have been more problems.

Uh-oh, I just got a server error as I tried to refresh the page. Having said that it does seem to be working better tonight 

Yes... I just got one too

I didn't but it couldn't/wouldn't submit my post at the 1st attempt.

Apart from that, it's been running a whole lot better for me.

OK... just a few seconds ago it wouldn't let me quote.... and then booted me out completely   

Damn you, infernal server error! 

I've reported these back to Brian.

Baz and Slinki, what browser(s) are you using?

I am on Safari EFFT

Wonder if your browser is a factor in these problems.

I'm on FF and haven't had any further problems since early yesterday afternoon.

I don't think so... cos I am sure Sprout isn't on Safari and she had probs too.....  

I'm on Chrome, although I haven't had anything else since I mentioned that one blip last night 

I was thinking of it in terms of the 'fix' being more aligned to the way FF works (hence me having had no more problems, so far) but still leaving a few loopholes for other broesers to trip over.

 Oh I see....

I tried three browsers the other night, FF, Chrome and IE...same problem on all three 

Well, that's that theory just gone up in smoke!

 Nice try though EFFT 

Brian Lenz has replied to my post:

Thanks, El Loro.  I'm guessing these internal server errors are just separate performance-related issues.  Prior to yesterday, we were having much more frequent and regular occurrences of slowness and lockups across Hoop.la.  With the upgrades made yesterday, the general problem has been completely solved.

If users continue to get these Internal Server Error pages, the more information that they can provide about the problems, the better (e.g. date/time of error, URL of error or if the error happened during posting, etc.).

I can see from looking through the logs that these errors are very infrequent (maybe just about one per hour across all Hoop.la sites over the past 24 hours).

Thanks,

Brian

I suggest that if anyone has more problems that they make a posting over on the Social Strata help forum giving as much info as they can. The thread I created there is:

http://help.socialstrata.com/d...t/271083968766110150

If that thread is closed then you would need to start a new one.
