503 is a server overload or http error..or both. I would expect this to happen from time to time with rapid growth it may seem frustrating but its just growing pains ;) it's concurrent users all trying to do different things in the same second

I was getting it a ton earlier. Strangely it was happening almost every time I tried to open a page in a new tab (chrome), but if I clicked a link in the current tab the page would load fine.

mh, very strange. but looks like they fixed it

I can't see what the question is, i keep getting "Internal Server Error" :p

And error code 503 or whatever.

damn, thanks!

Me too.

Yes, i am getting the same error !!

I like to open posts in a new tab and that seems to be the primary culprit.

Most of the time, when I do that and get an internal server error I can simply go to the url bar, click at the end of the url, and hit enter to get a page to load.

Sometimes I just need to click the link and not open it in a new tab.

Rarely, the error persists. If in doubt, try simply clicking a link rather than opening it in a new tab. Most of the time this resolve the issue you note (at least for me).
