How is the forum behaving?

I am getting error 500 quite a lot, particularly while banning spammers and admin tasks.
One other member has PM'ed me with the 500 error.
The last 2 PM's I have recieved both came in twice.

Has anybody else experienced these (or similar) problems?

I kept a little log of my most recent string of "500" Errors, in the hopes that it will help the server operators track down the issue:

500 error on November 17, 2011 at 5:01 AM GMT (November 17 at 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time US). Error occurred when attempting to access a thread from the "Recent Unread Topics" page.

500 error on November 17, 2011 at 05:09 AM GMT (November 17 at 12:09 AM Eastern Standard Time US). Error occurred when attempting to access a thread from the "Recent Unread Topics" page.

No issue with PMs; my most recent one did not produce a duplicate.  However, sometimes the site seems to freeze up for me when I hit the "Preview" button in attempting to post. In fact it's doing so for this post...

The site had been working fine (as far as I could tell) until I attempted to post this, and now (8:12 AM GMT/3:12 AM Eastern Standard Time US) it's acting up again. No 500 error at the moment, just extremely slow.

I'm getting the errors about 30% of the time in the last few days.
I have learnt if I make a post, wait ages and then get the error message, it's best to reload the thread and my post is usually there.
Pages are often failing to load or take ages.

The system is running very slow at the moment.

Are you getting 'time out' errors as well or is the forum just slow?

I thought it was at my end too!

I've gotten timeout errors too. It's been crazy. I really thought it was at my end though. I guess not!

This has been going on for me since Monday.  I didn't see this thread until now though.
I get the error 500 screen a lot and when posting, it just hangs up.

This does appear to be a serious issue, I hope something can be done about it.

Very slow, lots of "time outs."  I'm getting this on two separate computers, and only on this forum, so it must be this system, I guess.
