When I try to send zacxpacx a private message, it says "Server Error occured". I had done it many times before, this is something new.

It happens to me from time to time too, and I quite some time back reported it. Most of the days it works for me, but when the bug occurs I can not write any private messages because of this server error for a whole da.

I have no idea why this bug occurs. Because normally this functionality works fine, I assume that the Q2A code is correct. It seems that sometimes the mailer of our host does not work correctly sometimes. I also tried once to use the SMTP mail-server, but with no success. I am very sorry about this inconvenience.
