 * Any help much appreciated….
 * I am experiencign problems for no apparent reason. Up to 30 minutes ago it was
   all working correctly, but now, whenever I try to use Posts > Edit from the dashboard
   I just get the:
 * Error 500 – Internal server error
    An internal server error has occured! Please
   try again later.
 * I have disabled all my plugins and it seems to work normally when GD-Star rating
   is turned OFF, but obviously, this isn’t practical all the time, so what can 
   I do? I have also tried re-installing gd-star rating but with no luck.
 * Please can anyone help? I’ll buy you a pint.
 * Cheers!

 * If it only happens with GD star rating, you may be out of luck with that plugin
 * You can experiment a bit, you may have a conflict between gd star and another
   plugin
 * If you can’t get your blog to work with gd star active, you may have to take 
   it up with that plugin author, or consider an alternative
 * I use wp-postratings for my rating system

 * Thanks RVoodoo.
 * The thign is, it has been working absolutely fine for weeks if not months, then
   all of a sudden, it goes kaput.
 * Strange but thanks again. I’ll check out wp-post ratings, GD star rating is far
   too complex for me anyway!

 * Infact, I have next to no knowledge of WordPress and coding so wp-postratings
   is like gobbledegook to me.
 * Thanks for the suggestion though. 🙁
