Down Time and Slow Page Loads

Yeah, it was faster after I posted this. Go figure! LOL Kinda like going to the doctor, you feel horrible until you get there!

I gett hat after I report an issue to the host. It is usually fixed by the time I click submit. Oh well, that's what I pay them for.

Is anyone else receiving 406 errors when trying to post?

I believe I have found a partial clue to the 406 errors. I got some this morning:

406 Not Acceptable
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /vb/newthread.php could not be found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.centextalk.com Port 80

I traced it to having the ' u r l ' tag inside a 'quote' tag, and found it sometimes wouldn't take it, even if it put the tag there itself, as in when I hit page preview or edit.

Yep...I tried to post something 3 times yesterday and WHAM...it just dissapeared with a 406 error message on the screen. I just quit trying.

Then, I couldn't even find the thread agin. It's like it evaporated or something.

Strange, it's been fine for me since I got them to make the change when KISD locked us out.

I think the problem is a remarkably narrow set of circumstances. I had a # sign in one u r l that it refused to allow, but not in another. But in a third case, it didn't seem to mind the u r l.

It may be that only certain characters in the u r l cause a problem, and then only when the u r l is inside a 'quote' box.

My solution was to remove the u r l tags and allow the editor to reinstall them as it posted. That seemed to work.
