can you please post device and browser details and any other information that may help

It happens totally randomly but a refresh always fixes it for me. ASUS Laptop, Windows 7, Google Chrome. iPhone SE, Safari.

Hey all: @PaulAds @Bill Saunders @pompeyjazz @tone @Skub @dasntn @Sterix @philbee @CaliaMoko @Jenna @jacksimmons

I have an update, and based on the post by @pompeyjazz I am a little reassured that are taking the right action

Here is what the hosting company have said:

Thank you for contacting us on the matter and apologies for the delay in my reply.

I have just increased your Virtual Memory available for your account which should resolve the issue for you.

Please let me know if the issue re-occurs so I can have a further look?

Could you all please let me know if things improve for you - I am not sure if this is an instant fix or whether it will take a while to filter through but please keep me posted either via PM or on this thread

Thanks for reporting the issue and hopefully it is now sorted

Brilliant! From what I've read, that should fix the problem (but wasn't something I could do myself). Fingers crossed

[Bill Saunders]

Seems rock solid on iPad, android and pc so far! What a difference - hope I've not spoken too soon, but early indications...

[dasntn]

Yes, it now seems to be behaving properly!

That'll make a good song title/hook:

Internal Server Error

.. or maybe your waitress ate something she shouldn't have ..

Great to hear that this seems to have solved the problem.  Seems like the hosting company have several virtual machines on one physical server. They have probably upped the allocated memory using vmware and without the need for a physical server reboot. Glad to have been of some help 

[philbee]

It has certainly fixed it for me which is a relief.

[Boydie]

Yay - it is looking like the issue is sorted once and for all 

[CaliaMoko]

Sorry, but it isn't fixed for me. I still get an error page every time I start a new topic. It says:
