This is an issue that has been bothering the mod team for a while, but that we hadn't gotten complaints about from other members up until today. So this is to inventory the size of the problem.
The issue is this: when you click submit after writing a post or a PM, you often get an Internal Server Error, but when you go back to the thread, or go to your outbox folder, the message turns out to have gone through just fine. However, if you refresh, or go back and press submit again, the message is posted or sent twice.
Does this sound familiar? Please answer the poll.

Re: Internal Server Error when posting/sending PM?
This is in contrast to a general 'SQL error', everyone can have from time to time, probably due to weird input from the keyboard/browser/operating system. The background is then blue, seperate thread by CharlieCC here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19225
Here we are looking for white background:
Internal Server Error
only.

Re: Internal Server Error when posting/sending PM?
Well, as you can see, the message still gets posted even if you get the error. The same goes for PM's, if they're in your outbox, that means they were sent. It'll move on from the outbox as soon as the recipient reads it.
It's a really annoying issue, that I unfortunately do not know how to fix. As soon as we find a solution, I'll get right on it.
Until that time, we'll just have to live with the error. Keep in mind that you can already click away from the message page after you press the submit button and before the error page comes up. Your message will get posted.

Re: Internal Server Error when posting/sending PM?
O, wait, hold up, that first one is a different error than the one we're talking about in this thread, which is the internal server error that you got when you tried to post your first reply. My previous reply was in response to that: messages do get posted whether or not you get that error.
Could you post a screenshot of the other one?
