Over the last few days, every time I visit the forum of any union I get a server error message. I can see the topics in the bottom right corner of the home page with the post counts rising so it must not be happening to everyone.

I've tried using multiple browsers and today will try accessing it from my Universities wireless internet to make sure it is not my home connection, but this is not a problem I have had before the last two days.

Everytime I try to access a forum, I keep getting a white screen. I thought it was just one day thing but this has been happening for a few days now.

Funny thing is if they just made the unions the "wide layout" by default, like the rest of the GS website which just so happens to be working fine, surely none of this would be happening?

I came across this bug earlier today, and I've let them know. One thing you may want to do to help me out is share the union forum you're trying to visit. I may be able to clear the cache on the page to resolve the issue, manually (crossing fingers).

When I looked at this last night it seemed like only links to the old narrow union board layout were affected; the union boards I looked at in the wide layout were all working ok-ish (you could at least read them, anyway). The challenge seemed to be finding links to the wide layout; I have some thoughts on that here; there could very well be a better way.

Since there are three other people from The Anime Cafe in here complaining about the glitch, I would say our union is definitely one of the ones having issues.

Thanks for the workaround. I can access our union now in the wide layout. I knew there was a way, but couldn't remember how to get to it.

Thanks @killerband55, as @jodyr mentioned we rolled a fix out for this today and the union board pages should work now. Thanks for reporting and please let us know if you spot any other problems.

Those oops pages are very tricky to track down, but will keep an eye out for that - thanks!

if you use the old union layout (with the union banner on top) then make a post on there, it automatically goes into the Oops page, so you might wanna look into that
