Yes, me too. The 88 groups place is breaking down, it's barely still web 0.5.

But I succeded in signing in from work! Either the error is fixed, or it makes a difference that I'm on a Mac now. I use firefox both at home and at work.

johnb> That is great! Thanks for working on this. Is there any chance of recovering the comments from the crashed 88 group " Contemporary Chinese literature" (if you try to read them, you get the message 'We're sorry, but something went wrong etc.etc.')

I don't kow if this is any help at all in localizing the problem, but I still get "Internal error" trying to connect to 88 groups from home windows/IE or windows/firefox, but I can log in without problems from work on Mac/firefox. In all cases using my CPod account.

I got the "Internal Error" message yesterday, and am still getting it today. Also, still get the "We're sorry......." message for my Taiwan group, which has been inaccessible since the end of December!

The sign-in error seems resolved! Thanks! Maybe there is time for a general technical overhaul of the 88 groups?

I'm still getting the internal error here....tried several browsers. I agree with marcelbdt, definitely lots of technical glitches on 88groups - it'd be nice if they were resolved.
