Looks like it is only the two Admin accounts doing this

I wouldn't know since I have no messages there.
What sort of problems should we be looking for?
When I click on my PMs, it takes me to my empty Inbox. From there, I can clcik on Outbox and it takes me to my empty Outbox.....no error messages.

Ok I think i may have a solution working on it now :y115:
Geoff, that is what I was getting when I tried to PM you earlier. I did successfully PM you later.
OK Greek, what is the cause and what is the solution! :y114:

Often times a 500 error is a CHMOD (change command) problem with a file used to parse the pages.
Yes but we don’t know why this started and what caused it. I have been able to work around it so our PM’s are now working again. Even the SMF support staff is stumped over this one. Another forum admin also reported the same problem so I have given him my workaround as well.

Thanks, AJ - only I do not understand "parse the pages"

CHMOD isn't the only reason for 500 errors but it's a very common one.
The other reason is that a document somehow got corrupted or the name or file extension changed.
Dave...I've seen CHMOD permissions get changed if there is an automated server backup done before. About the only thing you can do is redo all the files that require special permissions.
Carl, the board works almost like it's a program. One document refers to and depends upon others. If one of those happens to get the permission to write to it changed, then that part of the program doesn't function. Parsing would be akin to thinking..it takes bits of input and decides by checking all the things the script tells it to what to do with it. In this case it tells it what to print-out in HTML form so we can see it in a browser.

AJ it seems that one page of the inbox of those affected got corrupted. As soon as we turned over to a new page by sending enough PM’s to that member it worked again. Now you can view all your pages except for that one page in your inbox. Both the hosting service and the SMF support have not been able to pin down any reason why this happened and only to the three of us. :silent:
I will still play around on this one a bit more when I have a bit more time.
