If anyone else is experiencing this error, please post here and let me know EXACTLY what you were doing when it happened...

Posting a picture? Uploading a picture? Pressing reply?

This will help me isolate the problem as it pertains to a software update that happened last week. I'm betting this is the culprit.

I was trying to reply to my Ecommerce coaching thread. I was replying to TT and while I was typing the reply the error popped up. When I hit POST the error popped up and would not let me post. So this makes me think that as my draft post was trying to save, the server error popped up.

I refreshed, delete my post and repasted it and same error happened.

I then went to a totally different thread (18yo to $100k) and was able to post a reply no problem.

I came back to my Ecommerce coaching thread and saw my draft reply was sitting there so I hit reply and it worked and posted.

However, my draft reply was not complete (as I suspected the autosave worked at the beginning of my post and somewhere during my typing the server error happened), so I clicked edit and added a few sentences and got the error again.

After several back buttons and clicking on the POST button it worked.

I had it a couple of times in the last couple of hours. There was no posting or uploading a picture involved. Just me trying to edit a reply.

I've been getting this error ^^^^ when I post a comment that includes a quote from another user. If I wait and try a minute or two later, it works with the quote. If I delete the quote the comment will post immediately.

Tried to quote @ZF Lee on this thread: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...-afford-them-until-well-past-our-prime.71769/

Got the same error as my above quote. Comment would not post. It posted after I erased his quote. I was able to quote myself here without issue.

I had the same problem. When I was trying to hyperlink or when I think that the draft is trying to be saved.

Tried to post, it failed. Went to another thread then went back. There was no draft so my post was gone but since I saved my post on notepad I copied and pasted it on the bottom reply multi-line textbox and it worked. A good idea is to copy/paste your work on a notepad just in case you lose what you typed in.

I am again getting this error when quoting others.

Specifically, it showed up while replying to this thread: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/hit-a-slowlane-in-the-fastlane-hard.71886/ and having my comment include a quote from @ZF Lee

It shows up while I am typing the comment, and again when I try to post. It does not show up at all if my comment does not include a quote from anyone.

It did not show up while typing this comment and quoting myself though.

feel free to PM me if you need any help with this. I'm no sysadmin, more of a web dev, but good/stubborn at troubleshooting.

I wouldn't know what to send you - the logs say nothing and I can't replicate it.

However if anyone continues to receive the error from this point forward, let me know -- I just updated the software to the latest versions as I am hoping that resolves the problem.

@MJ DeMarco - One thing I noticed since Saturday (I think you did an update that morning) is that I don't receive an email anymore when I get a private message.

I'm not sure if this is resolved, but just wanted to point it out to you.

Went straight to spam.

I've confirmed a delivery problem with email since I moved servers, those MOFO's gave me a dirty IP that is blocked in a lot of places.

I have not gotten a error on the forum. I have noticed a few things though. When someone has more than 3 likes, it displays as 2, 3, 4, 5 others etc... The color has changed to gold. Same with the "report" & "edit" post, gold as well.


All of which I like. :)

Unless they were there before. I just never noticed until now. lol

Does anyone have a recommended hosting provider? I'm losing my patience with my host who just wants me to go "oh well" about having 90% of the forum's mail blocked, spammed, or junked.
