I can't access individual location pages from the lists on the 'Local' pages. HTTP 500 error message appears.

W10, Edge and IE

Me too, Firefox 28 (I know, I know, it's ancient), Win 7.

None of the links on my Local page work, but here are a few:
http://www.librarything.com/venue/6595/Herbert-Hoover-Presidential-Library-and-M...
http://www.librarything.com/venue/44442/West-Branch-Public-Library
http://www.librarything.com/venue/16545/West-Liberty-Library

I am using Firefox Firefox 45.0 on Windows 10. I don't get any error messages; the page is just completely blank.

All those links work for me, as do a random sampling of venues from my own Local. Chrome 51.0.2704.103, Mac El Capitan.

Links also working for me: W7, FF47.0.1.

Those all work for me.

Since its a server error, I don't think that the browser/OS versions can matter.

>8 lesmel: None of those work for me, even when I use a different browser. I so seldom look at the Local sites (because I was pretty much the only one posting events, other than an auto-post for a while from Barnes and Noble). The only reason I'd even care is to mark the Hastings site as defunct when it finally finishes the sell out of its last books.

Wonder why it's broken for some, and not others?

Sites often set up parallel servers with the same code so they can handle more traffic. When one of them has a problem, depending on the load distribution algorithm, users may see calls failing randomly or it may fail all the time for just some users.

Yep clicking those links gives me a blank page.
