Yep, more 502 and 504 today, as is usually the case on weekends. Seems like some server upgrades would do the trick, eh? ---

Just got another 504 Gateway Timeout error. I reckon it’s because I was trying to get into First Class boarding, and I’m only carrying an Economy Class ticket. Tripler I shoulda upgraded. 😕 ---

Reference the sticky at the top of this forum, and posts #30 and #36 in this thread, all from **TubaDiva**. Lacking any updates I assume the situation hasn’t changed, i.e. they are working towards a big fix, new software on new hardware. In the meantime, there isn’t much they can do to improve current board performance. If **TubaDiva** says it, I believe it. So I am possessed of patience, except when I get fed up and get out of it for a while and then come back and try again later. So no, nothing is fixed, and today is pretty bad. ---

I’m not noticing any differences to speak of between weekend days and weekdays. ---

Holy crap. The board is working great, as long as you don’t click anything. :rolleyes: ---

Last two days I was logged out, which is not normal. Not going to start a thread, but thought I’d add an anecdote. Mixed results for errors. Normally resolve by updating the link, so not so bad. ---

This place has gotten like a gym. Going there is a chore and not fun but I like the results. Coming here used to be fun, it no longer is. I like learning things so I still make the effort but it really is a chore. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > Not complaining, but I’ve been tempted to request that my username be changed to Gateway Time Out. Ditto. I’ve had so many sage replies to so many threads, but I end up giving up after never ending time outs, 504 or internal server errors. It’s sad that so many OPs have missed out on my wisdom. ☹ ---

I reserve all rights to the phrase “Server: Server error” as a username. Those who may accuse it of being redundant need to be reminded of the poetic device of anaphora. ---

> [@rsat3acr](#): > > This place has gotten like a gym. Going there is a chore and not fun but I like the results. Coming here used to be fun, it no longer is. I like learning things so I still make the effort but it really is a chore. Yeah, I have to agree. Before I click on a thread I have to think “It may be an hour before I can get another click that gives me anything but a time-out. Do I really want to “spend” it on this thread?” But I jumped in here because I just had something really weird happen. I posted in a thread in QZ, (I think, I can’t waste a click to double-check). I got the time-out, like I do 95% of the time. It was bad today and I couldn’t get back in the thread to check to see if the post went through. So I went to do something else (playing a game app) then I reopened that thread. I saw my post had come through at 3:37. But a duplicate came through at 4:23, which was at about the time I reopened the thread. I managed to delete it but it was weird. Now I will click submit and the board will probably time out. Don’t know when I’ll get back in. ---

> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > people who paid since this started should get a refund or another year free. My subscription renewal is coming up and I’m seriously considering whether to re-up or not. While my other options for online discussions are either smaller or a worse threading style, they don’t make me pay for the privilege of getting server errors. ---
