Posting problem

Author Message   Lorrie Walker New member Username: Lwalk41 Post Number: 1 Registered: 06-2008 Posted on Wednesday, July 02, 2008 - 06:43 pm:    After reading all of the posts here and at John D's site, we got brave enuf to take our first space A flight out of McChord on Memorial Day to Dover. It was great! We were the only passengers. We stayed at the Evergreen Inn the evening before the flight and that was terrific also. McChord does a great job, the terminal is clean, well-maintained, roomy. Dover's terminal was equally as well maintained. We stayed a couple of times at Eagle's Rest Inn there and it was also very nice. We spent four weeks on the east coast staying mostly in military lodging and enjoyed all of it. We attempted to get a space a hop out of Andrews back to anywhere on the West Coast and couldn't ever get on a flight, so flew commercial. That was NO picnic - give me space a anytime! Our last attempt at space A out of Andrews had 40 seats available to Travis, but NO CatVI's made it on. Now that school is out, it appears to be a whole different picture traveling space a. Andrews terminal needs some improvement in communication, courteousness, cleanliness! It's kind of embarrassing that this is the terminal that dignitaries route through from other countries! I'm very grateful to have had the information in hand from this site and John D's before ever attempting this journey. I was well prepared and didn't get too "fussed" when we couldn't get a flight home, had known ahead of time that could happen and had alternate plans. Thanks to everyone who posts flight schedules, provides trip reports, etc. It's really helpful for a novice to gain info on space a travel. I'm ready to give it another try, not so sure about my sponsor and - darn it!-I can't travel space a without him!

Chambers (Mike) Intermediate Member Username: Mikefang Post Number: 15 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 - 03:40 pm:    I'm also getting that Internal Server Error msg when trying to post this morning.

It worked for me once before.   Cherry C. Senior Member Username: Cherry Post Number: 3503 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 - 12:51 pm:    Aftere several more fruitless tries I re-wrote the durn thing and this time it did post without any problems. I have saved the text of the one that was rejected, plus the full error message with its gobbledegook at the end, just in case anyone wants to analyze either or both in an effort to figure out what was so bad and fix the glitch causing its rejection!   Cherry C. Senior Member Username: Cherry Post Number: 3500 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 - 12:35 pm:    Now I'm getting the same "Internal Server Error" message (that I've never seen before in the almost 5 years this particular program has been in effect) when I try to post a response to the "Ramstein to No. VA" thread in the General forum. No matter what I do it will not take my text--which, BTW, contains no fancy graphics or fonts but just typed words of wisdom! The system allowed me to post the flight schedules only a few minutes earlier. What gives?   CSM(r) Gary Huber Senior Member Username: Csmr_huber Post Number: 90 Registered: 01-2008 Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 - 12:00 pm:    Having similar problems. Trying various options but I believe there's something in the text, possibly an unprintable ascii character like the backspace that is causing the problem. 73, Gary - AB9M   CSM(r) Gary Huber Senior Member Username: Csmr_huber Post Number: 89 Registered: 01-2008 Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 - 11:57 am:    Having similar problems.

I'm ready to give up! When I post the pictures and the expanded trip report, I'll post the URL, if anyone wants to read it.   Ted Lamb Senior Member Username: Ted_l Post Number: 1085 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, May 26, 2008 - 06:14 pm:    It looks as if the system wants to limit me to 20 lines (I posted 76 in Part 1). Maybe the system read the first post, and decided that I was too boring to be allowed more than 20 lines. So, I put up Part 2 with less than 20 lines, and can continue that way.   Ted Lamb Senior Member Username: Ted_l Post Number: 1083 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, May 26, 2008 - 05:53 pm:    I'm trying to post a second message, as a "new topic," labeled "Part 2." I typed in several paragraphs manually, and received the same message. I deleted all but the first paragraph, and received the same message. I pasted in only the first paragraph, and it appeared on the preview screen.   Dirk Pepperd Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 451 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, May 26, 2008 - 05:42 pm:    See if you get the same error when you type it manually (sorry).. Which thread are you trying to update?   Ted Lamb Senior Member Username: Ted_l Post Number: 1082 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, May 26, 2008 - 05:28 pm:    I tried a short paragraph, which then showed up in the preview window. I added random text manually, which showed up in the preview window. Then, I tried to paste in another paragraph, which didn't exceed the area I had typed manually, and I got the error message. I composed it in text, using Notepad.   Ted Lamb Senior Member Username: Ted_l Post Number: 1081 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, May 26, 2008 - 05:21 pm:    I did that, and got the same result when attempting once again to post part 2 of my report.   Dirk Pepperd Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 450 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, May 26, 2008 - 04:19 pm:    Ted. Try clearing out your cashe. I just found two of your posts in the Trip Report section and was able to post a reply. Let me know more about which post and if you have any better results after clearing your browser cashe. Dirk   Ted Lamb Senior Member Username: Ted_l Post Number: 1079 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, May 26, 2008 - 03:50 pm:    I posted the first of a multi-part trip report, then have tried multiple times last night and today to post the second part. I get the following message when I activate the "Preview / Post Message" button: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
