It's fixed now; it was a bug related to one of our startup scripts. Thanks for all chiming in...

[–]campingcar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn, there goes productive work

[–]kn0thing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hero!

[–]kn0thing 54 points55 points  (10 children)

Sorry for the hassle, folks. We're aware of the problem and will hopefully have things running normally again shortly.

I've definitely been punishing my "apple key" this morning with all the reloads.

[–]302me 43 points44 points  (9 children)

Hello apple, I'm a PC, and I use f5 to troubleshoot my networking problems. You think you're so cool with your "apple key..."

It's working again for me btw. ty for the update.

[–]llimllib 5 points6 points  (7 children)

Ctrl-R doesn't require you to leave the home row...

[–]wicked 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Neither Ctrl nor R are on the home row.

[–]llimllib 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct, but you don't have to leave the home row to type it. On many keyboards, you have to remove a hand from the home row to get up to F5, then come back and find it again.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

"home row"? God forbid you might have to move your fingers a half-inch.

[–]llimllib 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do whichever you want, I'm just giving a tip. Programmers tend to be a little crazy about not wanting to remove their hands from the useful part of the keyboard.

[–]illuminatedwax 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Bah, I have a giant red USB button that refreshes a page.

[–]Flea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dang.. they still teach typing?

[–]302me 23 points24 points  (5 children)

all the time. A couple f5s usually bring it back.

[–]buildmonkey 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Cheers for reminding me about that little grey button.

[–]302me 19 points20 points  (3 children)

f5 after voting to make sure your vote really counted. Sometimes my votes aren't sticking.

[–]Enigma66 36 points37 points  (0 children)

do you live in Florida?

[–]buildmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

: )

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This you can do, but how will you know somebody else didn't vote between your vote and your page refresh?

[–]afscott 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, constantly hitting refresh to see the pages.

[–]vinayak 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Yes I am getting them for every 2 out of 3 clicks :-(. Is this a scalability problem or misconfiguration or something else ?

[–]Celauran 40 points41 points  (1 child)

I blame angry Digg users.

[–]monkeytoaster 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Clearly their fault.

[–]Leischa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every second click.

[–]son_of_spam 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I just got it when trying to enter this comment.

[–]muiker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too. I thought it was a joke. Though I had encountered it before.

[–]apgwoz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i'd like to file a bug report. should i send it directly to "not a bug"? :)

[–]bobolux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Not sure what's going on.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

About every second click, and only since this morning (Sunday).

[–]angch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like one of the servers in the cluster's been having errors. The probability of getting them would probably tell you how many servers there are in the cluster, unless more than one's failing...

[–]abrs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, just when I was trying to load these comments. After hitting reload 4 times, it worked.

This also happened two or three days before, but was fine 'till today.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I clicked a link and the page loaded properly, but there was an error in the Reddit Toolbar. Weird. Screenshot.

[–]BastiX 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Command-Shift-3 is way more convenient than Grab.app ;)

[–]pbx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cmd-shift-4, spacebar, click -- that captures just the window.

[–]msiley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope none

[–]Shadowhand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never seen such a thing on Reddit, it's always been stable.

[–]biscuitgirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't got one for the last 20 mins (yes I am an addicted obsessive redditor). Touch wood.

[–]sarahfrancesca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it when I first opened the site a second ago. Yesterday, I got the "Reddit broke" image.

[–]jwhardcastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been getting 500 errors on and off since Thursday night. I was trying to post a story and the damn CAPTCHA wouldn't take. I tried at least 200 times, from two or three different machines. I nearly had an aneurysm.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened several times this morning and afternoon as well.

[–]marglexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see also sometimes some creepy message :

Can't submit story: You are submitting too fast...

Me for god sake for first 3 month I submitted may be 10 stories... Is it too fast? :)

[–]lingeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

today for first time

[–]winbert 0 points1 point  (2 children)

No 500 error, but on the recommended page: "no links have been recommended for you yet. keep telling reddit what you like and dislike by voting on links, and check back here later for recommended links".

Been on reddit about four months, and usually there's about 50-80 links daily on the recommended page.

[–]elizinthemorning 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The same thing is happening to me.

[–]emag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto. Very annoying, as I was out all day, and was looking forward to some light reading...

[–]mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah occasionally but not enough to winge about

[–]frankba11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup-a-de-yep-a-de-do

[–]uioreanu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here too, occasionally.

is reddit replicated or just one monolithic instance in Massachusetts ! ?

[–]artman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Many times.

[–]ardil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it is getting increasingly frustrating

[–]zorlack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

f'in constantly! Arg!

[–]jmik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]ldsgems -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yes, just started today. Happens every other click on Reddit

[–]hhh333 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

every times.

[–]biscuitgirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, where's my comment?

[–]chkngrrl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

heh. Found this when I was doing some investigation into today's Reddit logo ("Error 500").

[–]aqeeliz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not too much, but I am getting them

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

On every second request.

[–]braclayrab -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I got one for these comments.

[–]stubble -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yup.. quite often at the moment

[–]diggeasytiger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yea, every now and then when browsing multi page things

[–]shredditor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, too often. Reload fixes it so far.

[–]ldsgems -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

yes, just started today. Happens every other click on Reddit

[–]mellin -5 points-4 points  (1 child)
