When I click on "New PM" I only see:
"This page isn’t working
open-chess.org is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500"
What should I do?

Same here.
I got something similar when I tried to post with Opera's free VPN on.
It is okay with it off though.
Firefox, no err just a blank page for any PM try.

I was reading through the FAQ (frequently asked questions) and found this:
Perhaps somebody can contact the forum creator/administrator, Jeremy Bernstein. There is a GitHub page for a Jeremy Bernstein who also resides in Berlin, Germany. He has CuteChess and Stockfish repositories. So maybe this is the same person. His last GitHub activity was in August 2021.
https://github.com/jeremybernstein?tab= ... 2021-08-31
He apparently left the TalkChess Forum in June 2010 after a disagreement (big surprise there
)
http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?t=34840
Perhaps he can activate certain features that are not currently available?

Sorry
sarona, time flies.
I am hesitant about writing Jeremy because I found a 2010 post of his here that pgn4web was added.
Then at his github, your link, it looks like his last chess related activity there was in 2014.
I can not decide if he disabled things here purposely or does not know that things are not working.
So, I have researched:
1) I can get images from a 'web drive' of mine (and use MediaFire to post my pgn's) to avoid using the attachment resources here.
2) I can use
http://chess.tuxtown.net/game/ to post games here -from their site-, but it is a link that takes the reader to a different page (so 'open in new tab/window' would be an idea), for example:
View game, see 5.Bxg6!!:
http://chess.tuxtown.net/game-replayer. ... f991059486
What do you think?

Sorry! I have not been here for a bit.
It seems that BitDefender is flagging "
http://chess.tuxtown.net/game/" as a suspicious page.
Not sure if this is just a bunch of nonsense by BitDefender (it would not be the first time) or something is amiss.
I really do miss your threads on Rybka! It's been so bad that I have resorted to following threads on another chess forum regarding non GPLv3 compliant Stockfish clones!
Its getting so bad that I have resorted to reading ChessQueen's stuff on TalkChess. . .
