500 Error while checking profile

Not the most urgent thing but I've noticed it for maybe a week now.

Have also gotten very occasional 500s when trying to view individual threads from the feed. Don't remember which threads they were (and it was only a couple of errors) but the errors were also within the past week, if it helps.

Well, that didn’t fix the problem with viewing your profile. I will likely have to get some help from the mbin team to solve this one.

The issue seems specific to your account. There were larger issues. The issue here is that somehow you have a comment somewhere in the database that is duplicated and it's causing mbin to error out when summarizing your account

Huh, that's odd. Is there anything I can do on my end?

No. I have to get into the database and fix it. It’s a complicated operation, and it will take a few days before I have enough time to get in and fix it, but it’s on my list

Thanks again!

Thanks for the report. Does the 500 happen after a long wait, or right away?

Right away

I think I found the problem. nginx was running out of open files. I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it really is fixed.
