This isn't a complaint, (I know this isn't the place to take this up at), but it tickled my funny bone, so I thought I'd share. When I tried uploading an image a few minutes ago I got the following error message. "Server error! The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Error message: Premature end of script headers: easesvr " .... and THEN it said... "If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster" Well, gosh, might this be a servor error? Let me look at that error message again. Hmm.... "Server Error" in BIG letters, with an exclaimation mark... gee, I wonder if it might be a server error? Nah, probably not. lol!

Was the Renderosity Evil Pixel Pixies [REPP's] at work ... Again! Oh they are a devilish bunch of pranksters. Always messing with the code and wording to error messages. No matter how many times we ban them, they always come back, with more mischief than before! ladynimue

Actually this is a fairly common line in most default server configurations for the Server Error. Why? I have no idea. I'm sure there is a hidden joke in there somewhere, but not sure what it is. ShadowWind Or it could be pixies... :)

since it is a server error - exactly HOW are you supposed to contact the renderosity email when it's their server that is narfed?? I know it just gets bounced back because I tried sending them an email about this error just to see what would happen once. :+P yes I was bored at the time...

Server Errors don't usually mean the entire server is narfed and it's very name is misleading a bit. Server Error 500 refers to a program that didn't complete thus never sending the Content-type code to the server. This can be from any number of things, from text sent (by an outside program (if it errors)) before the headers, to a program that crashed in mid stream for some reason. Server Errors strangely enough are very rarely the result of the server itself, and even then is only the web server, not the email server. Can't say why that bounced, maybe cause they had taken it down as well to reboot...

Been fighting server errors for a good number of years now...

No, it's the BUNNIES! And what's with all those carrots? Why do they need such good eyesight?!?!? Ugh... remind me not to watch "Once More With Feeling" before posting again... "I can bring whole cities to ruin, and still find time to get a soft shoe in..."

Bunnies, bunnies, it must be BUNNIES! Love that episode... I could probably use ole Sweet around here to dance up some inspiration. Course, I'd keep a fire hose ready or flame retardant underwear...
