Re: Technical difficulties
More 501 gateway....it took about 20 minutes to just get here. Phone and computer.
I'm ready to stop trying -
And now it’s okay! Knock on wood!

And it's working okay for me tonight. Please, let this be a trend! Yesterday was really infuriating.
-
@bruce-m And NOW it’s effed up again! 🤬 Bruce, you are 6 hours behind me and we posted about 15 minutes apart!
-
And just now it's effed up in a way I hadn't experienced! When I first tried to log in I got an error message, "503: Excessive Load" -- meaning the forum had more traffic than it could handle. I reloaded the page and it worked -- at least for now. We'll see if it lets me post this.
-
@bruce-m had trouble yesterday and today...,502 again.
...I'll give it a couple days -

Thanks, @yankeefan2 for affirming what I already suspected. I hope Paul's team gets someone on this. It's incredibly annoying.
incredibly

@njr I'm glad it's working for you. My Phone and computer have 502itis
-
So tonight it seems to be working okay, at least so far. I guess I'll know more when I hit "Submit."
-
Well, after a few days of things seemingly okay, I'm getting all sorts of random error messages again "Bad Gateway," "Oops! Something went wrong!" As the WWII soldiers used to say, "Situation Normal, All F***ed Up."
-
@bruce-m FUBAR!!
-
@bruce-m yes one never knows what'll happen...
-
@bruce-m
Understand what you're saying... I get "Code 502" and "Code 503" error messages everytime I visit this forum and have to keep refreshing the screen... eventually I can get in.Wonder if the heavy traffic on the site is happening because of the South American and European tours? Don't think there's a lot of posting in the Rock Show forum though...
-
Given the relatively thin flow of new posts, I can't believe the site is overwhelmed with traffic. I think it's just, as NJR said, FUBAR.
-
@bruce-m Agree with you, it must be a server glitch, and not a traffic issue.
This link is an article about what causes 502 gateway errors - it indicates that most problems are caused by server overload but can also be because of malware that has gotten onto a server, causing a "Distributed Denial of Service" [DDoS] (malware that causes a firewall to keep people from accessing a site) - it's possible that could be the problem here.
More about DDoS malware is at

@ladyleslie You missed your calling! You should be working in IT for MPL!
-
@njr I WISH I'm good at finding links, but have no idea what all of it means or how to fix things.
No... I think @Yankeefan2 or some other posters here have a LOT more I.T. experience and would be good applicants if any MPL tech jobs come open
-
EDIT: It looked like this posted when I wrote it 3 days ago, but it didn't! Trying again!!!
Well, after 2 visits with no apparent bugs, I was starting to think all was finally well. But just now I'm getting the same goofy error messages we all have been seeing. Sigh...
