    Not sure if this had been discussed yet, but I've been getting this error quite a lot while using touch.boards.ie.

    This is a catch-all response when something fails in the API that touch runs off. We're looking at improving the error messaging so that the touch sites emits a friendlier error message when the API faceplants.

    We're also looking to increase logging on the API to get a better idea of where exactly these errors are occurring.

    So thanks for the report and we are investigating.

    I'm getting this error right now when trying to post in the android forum.

    edit: also in this forum, although the post is actually sent.

    We made one change yesterday which shouldn't have had this impact but such is software development it always is so its looking likely this change is the cause.

    We'll all be in the office in the next 30 mins we can have a proper look at it then. Thanks for baring with us.

    Should be sorted now. Not entirely sure how the change we made yesterday could have caused this. Thanks for letting us know though.

    I'm having this problem on my phone. I replied to a few threads today, and when I go to post, it brings me back to a blank screen. PM's are working fine though.
