Just another chiming in. It’s been particularly bad over the past day or two, with slow loading times, and numerous errors and gateway time-outs. I’d guess that at least 1/3 of the times I click on a thread or make a post on the board, I’m running into these errors.
I’ve noticed this happening at all times of the day, and on two different machines and browers (a Mac running Safari, and a Windows laptop running Firefox).
Running a Chrome derivative on Windows 8.
Several today here as well.
It’s starting to seriously piss me off. The hamsters really need a good kick in the arse.
Yep.
Getting LOTS of gateway time-outs and other very slow responses. All day and night.
Getting tons of them tonight. I apologize for any duplicate posts.
Other than a single instance this afternoon, it stopped happening to me maybe five days ago. I don’t know whether this gives some sort of clue as to what’s causing the problem. Why some people and not others?
I just got one coming in off the google link …hadn’t even signed in yet said “504 bad gateway”
Me too. Firefox on a Mac.
Hello? Any word on what’s going on?
By the way: Safari on a Mac.
I noticed a slowdown yesterday for just a few minutes but, otherwise, it works pretty well for me.
I’ve gotten 3 or 4 in the last 20 minutes (12:30 - 12:50 PM EST). It’s a slow loading process, too.
Just got this posting a reply in the Game Room:
**Error: Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.**
I checked the thread though and my post was there, if I’d have tried to post it again it would have been a double post.
I have contacted management and asked if they could look at the situation.
We apologize for all your inconvenience, I know it’s aggravating.

Thanks Jenny.
The errors contributed to my triple post today here in a thread game: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=22034292#post22034292
Anytime I’ve come close to “double posting” I’ve gotten a screen that tells me I’ve already posted. Why am I protected and others not? (Safari, iPad)
Beats me, iPhone X and Safari, doesn’t protect me.
Huh. 
I thought for sure that was why I cannot double post, even if I try.
