Always happens when posting a new Message. Usually can workaround with a back-click and resubmit, 2 or 3 times. But now that does not even work – just tried it 8 times and all I get is the same old 500 error.

So then, close it out and post a new message, 8 more times and still get the 500 error.

Status: 500 Internal Server Error Content-Type: text/html
500 Internal Server Error

This is not good 37s. Sure you people know this is going on. Sure this is related to your server load. Sure it can be fixed with more horsepower on your servers. Take some of this pile of money you are pulling in every month and invest a million in your server farm – it is needed. Or, perhaps ROR has reached its limits. Perhaps this is the biggest test there is for ROR and it does not scale economically with its hardware requirements. Perhaps you need to recode this in PHP. Wouldn’t that be interesting… it would not be the first time we have seen a hotdog technology booted for good ole PHP. That is what happened over at Elance with their silly MS-based solution.

AHA!

The 500 errors are definitely occuring much more in Opera, FireFox is MUCH less – yes, the latest versions.

Well Opera is an important browser – does no one else care about this?
