Been struggling with the website for a past few hours

It is not letting me post any updates in the application, and keeps failing with the 500 internal server error.
Should I contact the adcom? Any idea whether this will be fixed in the next few hours ?
I would definitely recommend writing to the adcom. In the process, you might also help other candidates who are facing this issue.
I somehow managed to work-around this issue. I noticed that the failure was happening only if I saved a long-ish sentence (>15 words).. I had only a few minor updates pending, so I could make the necessary changes in fewer words !
BTW, while submitting the app, my payment failed, with a 500 error again !!!! And I have been debited the application fee, how do I get around this problem ? Anyone faced such an issue ?
