Hello smiley - smiley.

I need some help. I started a thread in <./>askh2g2</.> yesterday asking a question. But now when I attempt to enter it I get a 502 error (I'm a digibox user).
Typical this is the one thread I need smiley - wah. Anyone know how to tackle this problem? or if the thread will stay unaccessable?

I think this is the thread
F19585?thread=306382&latest=1

it should be entitled 'Calling all alcoholics...help!'

Thanks

smiley - chick

Hello Xian. Askh2g2 has been a problem before for digibox users because it has so many threads and so too many links in the plain skin. That is the right thread and you had 13 replies when I looked.

Some of the replies are quite long but I wouldn't have thought there was enough text, smileys or other links to prevent access. Try this link just in case it makes a difference: <./>/dna/h2g2/plain/T306382</.>

The only difference between the plain skin version of Xian's link and mine seems to be this little bit of HTML code with a couple of extra links. I wouldn't have thought just that tiny bit extra in Xian's was enough to cause an error though. smiley - erm
