    As of a few days ago, I haven't been able to access the BBS from my home computer (Macbook Pro, Safari).

    It gives me an error that says the header file is too long followed by a bunch of jibberish.

    Anyone know what could be wrong?

    (While writing this, I'm guessing it might fit better in the feedback forum. Move if necessary)

    I've gotten this before and actually got it again right after reading this post. I just close by browser (Firefox) and open it again and it's back to normal. I think it said "Server Error 400".

    IIRC mine says something like that, too (400 or 402).

    Already tried restarting... :confused:

    When you get this at the house again, press ALT and PrtScn together. This saves the current screen (hopefully the browser with the error) to your clipboard.

    Start MS Paint (Go to Start->Accessories->Paint). Select EDIT, then Paste.

    Name your file something descriptive when you save the file as a .GIF type.

    Post it to imageshack.us or a similar photo-sharing site.

    Come back here and paste the URL they'll give once you post the screenshot. :eek: Let's see what you get instead of guessing.

    "Post a screenshot" would have done just fine, but... ;)

    Good idea.

    Doesn't exactly work on a Mac.

    I've had no trouble with the BBS with Firefox OR Safari.

    Here's the Mac version of what SwoLy said.
    CMD + SHIFT + 3 takes a full screenshot. You should be able to upload that somewhere.

    So I restarted the whole machine one more time, and it worked!

    Happy to say "lock her up!"
