Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Anyone have any ideas why I cannot open the Saloon (ACS) on my computer? Every attempt gives a response This page isn't working forums.sassnet.com is currently unable to handle this request http error 500 I had just posted the start of a new thread (which disappeared) and that was all she wrote.
bgavin Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 This is a generic "server has pooped the bed" message. Or, as the Eight Ball used to say, "Reply Hazy, Try Again Later." Every computer needs a regular enema. Reboot your machine and try again.
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Hmm....I thought I had posted something in the "that's how I see it" thread, but it never showed up.
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 I have a similar issue on both my PC computer and iPhone. I will open the Saloon forum and all is well. I go to sign in and when I open the Saloon all I get a blank white screen. I can go to the Wire and it's fine. Go back to the Saloon and blank white screen. Like bgavin advised, I will get off the internet and clear history, cookies, etc. Then back on an go to the Saloon again and about 3/4 of the time that works when I sign in. Other times, I just have to surf other websites for awhile and come back to the Saloon and sign in again and for some mysterious reason, I can get in and all is fine. Again, this issue is only with the SASS Wire Saloon and Saloon only! Go figure?

bgavin Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 IMO, deleting cookies is mostly a waste of time. It is especially painful when you have a ton of business related cookies, and your machine is now brain dead because they are all gone. You can selectively delete cookies if so inclined. IMO, the reboot enema cures a whole lot of problems. So does have a great steak dinner and a cold beer and trying again in the morning after their online problems have shaken out.

Computers are not really my thing, but I'm not having any problems, so I'm blessed. Could it have anything to do with how data intensive the Saloon is? We've got a huge backlog of cartoons, memes, videos, wordy words, and who knows what else that have to be loaded... Like I said, this is not my forte. Would pruning the Saloon lessen the time it takes to load? You know more about this stuff than I do... so just wondering.

I have an I-Mac that's about 10 years old and a new IPhone, no problems at all, not ever! Maybe get a Mac??
Eyesa Horg Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Has always worked basically OK on my PC and my Android phone. I stay logged in, don't know if that makes any difference. Sometimes on the phone as a page starts to appear it goes all white and quick finger swipe brings it back. If it gets annoying, I close the browser and re launch.
bgavin Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 I access the Saloon via a Win7 Pro workstation and recently with an iPhone 13. My workstation, my big file server and VMware virtual host all get powered down nightly. I have some 25 virtual machines on the VM host, so it is only powered up when needed. Windows is a highly complex operating system (so is the Mac). WinXP was comprised of some 50 million lines of code. One of the reasons why computers need frequent enemas is because their application programs allocate memory, then lose it when the close. This results in orphaned chunks of memory (memory leak), which is recovered after a reboot. The root cause is mostly caused by application programs, and not Windows/Mac OS itself. Each web site is mostly a custom written application. The vast majority use the PHP development language, which runs on Linux and Windows servers. The Saloon appears to be running the Invision Power Board product. Platform type is unknown to me.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 Damn, but this is frustrating. I've cleared the cookies, history, tried both Chrome and Edge, closed everything that was running, re-booted multiple times... I can only access the Saloon (ACS!) on my li'l tablet - but one finger typing don't cut it. ONLY the Saloon!

Hardpan, check for this. If you are trying to use the obsolete "http" it will always fail. Must be: "https://forums.sassnet.com.... Note the "s" for "secure" Mandatory these days, nearly everywhere.

This page isn't working forums.sassnet.com is currently unable to handle this request http error 500 I have been getting this same message for months every other forum goes in seamlessly. Doesn’t matter if it’s my phone, tablet, or laptop. I accidentally discovered that I can get into the saloon from chrome on my phone but not from chrome on my little chrome book. It’s a puzzlement
