Hi, Paul and List,

 

And I thought it was just me! ha!

 

I'm using IE9, and it started about five or six days ago, for me.

I can get to the calendar and the POD when I go through the MetList archives, and click on the link when you post it, Paul.

It's not the full page, but it'll do, for now.

 

I use this link to get a full screen daily POD, but if you try to use the calendar function, the 500 error comes up.

The comet to view past pics works, though, so if you've got the patience... I hope this helps someone.

> Hello Listees.
>
> I've gotten a few emails about a "500 error" when trying to access the MPOD link. I'm not sure what's happening because, as we programmers like to say, it works for me.
>
> There is a lot of "page caching" on the Internet, whereby servers will save a copy of a page and serve it up when a request for it comes in, rather than letting the request pass through all the way to the MPOD server. This speeds up access but assumes the latest page is in the cache.
>
> If you encounter this problem, click the "refresh" button on your browser. If it still fails, please let me know what the error message was and ** what browser ** and ** what version ** of the browser you are using.
>
> The MPOD web site uses a small amount of JavaScript - nothing fancy, just something to make the programming and maintenance easier. If you do not have JavaScript enabled in your browser it may cause problems. Follow this link http://www.tucsonmeteorites.com/mpod.asp?XX=1 and scroll down. The level of JavaScript you are running will be displayed just below the calendar on the left side.
>
> Also, I've had one report of the 500-error with the Chrome web browser. FireFox worked OK on the same machine. If you experience this, I'd appreciate whatever details you can send.
>
> Thanks and Merry Christmas.
