Default Anyone else having a problem with DPS?

I have gotten this message a few times now.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster [at] digital-photography-school [dot] com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


DPS has been really slow today too....... Just wondering if I am the only one or not.

I've been having slowness the last few days, but no server errors lately (here at least).

Same as Nicole - noticed it has been very slow the last few days, but no actual errors. I originally thought it might be overloading on my home network (with xbox live and PS3 both gaming online, one PC playing WoW almost 24/7, another playing Farmville, and me on DPS all fighting for bandwidth), but came into office today, and am still experiencing poor response times (though I should be working I guess ).

I had a similar problem some time ago and even complained about it. Then one day I closed down my browser and re-opened it and the problem was gone. I have no idea why that worked but it did and whenever I experience error messages or slowness it always seems to work for me.

yup I have been getting that error a lot. However, we are in the middle of monsoon season here so slow internet and loading issues are the norm lol. It usually clears itself up with a reload.

I have been noticing the slowness over the last couple of days also...and thought it was either one of two things...

1. My home network feed.

2. The apparent merging of the "Weekly Assignment" forum, with the "Critique" Forum and the extra bandwidth this commotion was generating.

I've been having that message too and I've had problems logging on. It takes me quite a few attemps of typing in username and password to finally get in!

I use google chrome, so that's not the problem.
I haven't been getting as many error messages as before, but it's still super slow. The slowness is annoying, but once I get that error there's no way to get the page to load properly, just have to close it and wait 'til it's fixed........
