    About the screenshot - yes, it is from december 11th. On that day alone it appeared 12 times. I managed to get one single screenshot from all error messages until today because they only appear for less than a second and I am often not prepared to immediately screenshot as it doesn't happen very often ("very" is defined as "more than twice a day"). I got this single screenshot, then accidentally saved it in the wrong place and didn't find it again until today.

    it happens whenever the shoutbox is in the middle of requesting a new post and you refresh the page.

    From my observations with Wireshark, the shoutbox seems to be updated roughly every 10 seconds - yet it seems to behave slightly independent.

    "independent" isn't quite a term that fits there. Could you explain what exactly you meant?

    "From personal observations, the interval at which the shoutbox packets are sent seems to be unrelated to the occurrence of the error message."
