I see 100's of them daily.. Hope this is fixed.
I've emailed the fissues mailbox with some details of my symptoms with this issue, including some collected data from the IE F12-DevTools/Network capture (in the hope it is helpful to diagnosis).
I got this response:

I'm seeing this too. A refresh almost always solves it.
These are server errors. Please email the team directly at fissues at Microsoft. Thanks!

I've been seeing this as well for the past few days. I think it started on Saturday or late Friday.
Generally a few refreshes makes the page load for me as well.
EDIT: Now I'm seeing a different error, hopefully this clears up soon.
<fieldset>502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.
There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.

Hi Shakti,
Great, thanks for the update.
I just received another internal error when refreshing a forum view, I'll send in an email to fissues with a screenshot and the link I was using.

I have been seeing this as well for the last 3 days. It is NOT fixed!
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.
I think Shakti was only referring to the 502 errors being fixed. I haven't seen one of those again, but I'm still getting the internal server error quite often.

I am also getting the "Internal server error" every now and then.

Less frequently now? I think I would have had one by now.
Perhaps related to this I want to know what is causing Submit from Message list almost always to fail. Now that I have reminded myself about this I'm going to start a trace before trying to post this. It is being created in this Message list:

Heh. Before I even click on the Submit there is a 404 for this

I actually just got one when loading this thread. Perhaps the frequency is down a bit, but the problem is definitely still sticking around.

So it is important that MSDNers, particularly moderators and MVPs should not assume that multiple threads are created deliberately until this issue is resolved.

What Kieran has reported I agree with it. Lot of forum users are unintentionally posting duplicate threads this is because when first time they are creating thread its giving internal server error(as pointed out by me) but thread is getting created somehow. Which leads them to think they were unsuccessful and so they are creating new thread thus leading to duplicate ones.

I am getting Internal Server Error very frequently since the last two days. Almost 1 refresh on 2 ends with the Internal Server Error message.
I am using Google Chrome (Up-to-date) and I am connecting from France. Hope that helps.

I've been seeing this error also. It happens about with about 10% of the pages I try to load on the forums. Here's the error message I got about an hour ago:

Again i got this internal server Error. Any idea with the fix ETA ?
Gautam.75801
This forum is not for fixing issues or getting ETAs. It is for making sure workarounds are given and the feedback goes to the product team. As/if it continues, please email the team directly at fissues at Microsoft. These are temporary server issues that might come and go.
Thanks!
