500 Error on Read Threads link.

[ThatVietGuy]

As per the title, I can't look at threads I've previously viewed since I get a 500 error when I click the Read Threads link (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/read.html).

Is this a problem for anyone else?

Checked now, had no issues. Is this a repeated error you're running into? If it only happened once (maybe a few times in a small time frame), it may have just been a server hiccup and nothing to worry about. I'll keep an eye on things and see if anybody reports the same.

Word of advice though: ANY errors you run into on the forums, you should take a screenshot of it and provide as much detail as possible. Browser, time encountered, page it was on (which you provided!), anything at all. Makes it easier for me to track down, which means it gets to the devs faster.

Of course, now it works.

This has literally been happening the past 2 or 3 months without fail and as soon as you answer it works again.

I smell shenanigans

Things have a tendency to do that. Happens to me all the time, as if the forums are out to make us seem crazy. Shenanigans, indeed!
