Problem with the new forums...
Ever since the forums were upgraded, roughly one-quarter of the time I click on anything it either gives me "Internal Server Error" or "Firefox Could Not Connect". Sometimes I can get rid of this just by refreshing, but sometimes it just does nothing. (I know it's not my browser either, other sites I happen to be browsing at the time work.) Recently I've made a few large posts and have attempted to submit them only to end up staring at an "Internal Server Error" that no amount of refreshing can get rid of, and I lose the post. It's quite annoying.

That has happened to me a lot as well, but I think we have addressed this already. I think it would cost more for a more reliable forum, and we really need a donation drive to upgrade.

Re: Problem with the new forums...
The forums themselves are fine, although they are a bit slower than the old ones sometimes. I don't get anywhere near as many internal server errors as Doodle says he does but they do happen (refresh the page a few times and it should work). The Firfox errors, on the other hand, I think are a problem on his end.
As to getting rid of the internal server errors, if my host is correct about the cause, there's nothing I can do about them except upgrade my hosting package which would at minimum double my yearly costs. And, as I'm sure you can all tell by glancing at the donation guage, Pebble Version isn't exactly making a lot of money so we're going to have to live with it for now.
If you're making a long post, when you're done typing it highlight and copy it before posting. That way, if you get an error, you can try again and just paste in your post.

Yeah, that happens to me a lot too. I usually remember to copy what I was about to write, though.
May the Triforce be with you.
