I'm having issues posting to Galaxy Gallery and sending DMs to members. The message I get is
A server error occurred. Try again later. OK
I uninstalled and then re-installed the Members app. It just doesn't work. Any ideas please?

One possibility is using a vpn which blocks communication between your phone and server software. If you search for it you can find that your vpn has settings allowing an ip address to bypass the vpn. Or turn vpn off whilst using that site. For other possibilities on the Community page, top right, use the search option to look for "server error" or other relevant key words

Thank you. 🙏 I do not use a VPN, ever. Will check the Settings re Connections. Also, thanks for the Members Community search tip. Will reply here on the outcome of my research. 🤓👋👌

Hi again.
1) As mentioned, my VPN is None. However, the Private DNS is set to Automatic (Recommended), see screenshot. Does that have any bearing re this issue?
2) Doing a search in the Community didn't bring any joy.
3) What I did do is go into the Privacy setting > More restrictions and turned that on. Since doing that, I came back here and have sent a DM. It didn't give me an error message. So possibly things are OK now. Will try posting again tomorrow.1770014993055.jpg

Also see my reply to another problem today on using 'Google Advanced Search'. Too lengthy to repeat here, I am tired. But incredibly worthwhile reading up on that comment. DNS settings is a bit outside my skill area but changing that setting is also well worthwhile. Start by opening Wikipedia and search for DNS settings. Separately search for 'Google DNS settings'.

Unfortunately, today trying to post still does not work. I guess this is goodbye, then. It's been great visiting the members community and joining in and getting to know some of you and learning the ins and outs of my wonderful Samsung Galaxy ZFlip6 phone. Thank you. ❣️🤓👋

Hey Jmn, I think that is just the system. The members app sometimes has a glitch and brings up that message. It is temporary and can be a very short wait or a little longer. When it happens, I would leave it and try again little later 😊
