any sub-url for pirvatemessage returns 500 server not responding. Tried a few devices and browsers.

It's been an ongoing issue, it's totally random, and a few people have reported it. I'm not sure the mods can really see where the issue Is from their end, as they have looked into it.

But having worked around it many of times. You need to find and open the thread causing the bad link, causing the 505 error.

That being said, when I get the error. I scroll the main page looking for top level threads I have replied to, or am subbed to. You see a thread you are likely to get a notification for, open it. Once you have cleared the single bad notification, you will regain access to the rest of the message center.

it's tough to beat honestly. I had 3 notifications, and spent an hour trying to find threads that would have me hung up. This time it ended up being ECAPs poo build thread that caused me issue. I am subbed to the whole poo build section.

If it really bothers you, the only real solution I can think of is unsubbing from anything you are subbed to. In my expierence the bad notifications are more commonly generated by subs specifically rather than tags, or likes.

thanks, I can not get to the notification to clear them. I should have copied that url.

What do the PHP & apache error logs say, that should have the error in it.

Painthappy can you help me get back into the notifications, PM area?

when I click on your name it brings me to the core files.

I have noticed this only happens to me in the afternoon, have no issues in the morning or in the evening. Wonder if the is a traffic issue on the server side?

Working and looking at it... The problem is I just can't seem to replicate it. Let me do a rebuild and see what happens.

I definitely has to do with those that sub to threads. I don't sub to them and just visit and always look around, so probably why I never have the issue. Unsub and that should clear that up, but why one has to do with the other, haven't a clue. I've put in requests and set up test accounts for vbulletin people to have a look, but I'm always just told to upgrade to the new version.
