I tried to reply to your post 1/2 hour ago, and it didn't go thru. Not sure what's happening, sure is frustrating.

          It is odd, last week , at times, it took me many minutes to get on and post.
          One day I was ready to just move on and the next click it was totally gone.
          I get it now, briefly, when I first log in, some days.
          Back when it was worst, I would hit the , on screen log in button, up the corner with dots that showed it was trying to log in. It took very MANY tries but eventually I got in.

           I have to totally log in every day, as I do not stay logged in.
           I thought it might have been Firefox, but it was on MSN also.

I finally spoke with Matt about this. He says he is getting it on lots of sites he goes to. He will see if there is anything he can do to fix the issue here.

Well, in my opinion, he needs to get on it.  I'm about done playing this game, and very close to just moving on.
Not that I'm an important part of this board, but if I'm tired of it, it's likely that there's more that are tired of it.

Just sayin'.....Roger

Seems like I have the most problem with it first thing in the morning, and I just give up trying. Later in the day it seems better.

      I agree it is better later on but I leave my lap top on even when not using it, putting it in the sleep mode.
I had it briefly last night, I just hit resend till the little image shows it is searching and after seconds, even though it may seem like minutes,
the signal goes through and then it works fine.

       I looked up what causes it and most common is over loaded system, which may or may not apply.
       Today it did not exist for me, but I had a different bad gateway error, that was all the time,  last year on a totally different site and as I said earlier
erased and reloaded all my system cleaners and add blockers and then reinstalled.  That fixed that one. 8)

Wowee
I made a post on the gardening thread just
after the one on here a couple of hours ago
when I posted about easily logging in trouble
free etc.
It's been locked up with the "BAD GATEWAY"
from then until just now.

This is the only site it happens on for me - and it happens on every computer/device I log in with.  Hopefully he can get to the bottom of it soon.

         [urlhttps://www.expressvpn.com/blog/502-bad-gateway/][/url]

         A 502 bad gateway message indicates that one server got an invalid response from another.
 In essence, you've connected with some kind of interim device (like an edge server) that should fetch all of the bits you need to load the page.
 Something about that process went wrong, and the message indicates the problem.


        I am not saying this is the problem here, but this was the problem at another website:
    Firewall or security software blocking requests

Firewalls protect websites from malicious traffic, but they can sometimes block legitimate requests, causing a 502 bad gateway error.
This is common with DDoS protection systems, which try to filter harmful traffic but may mistakenly block real visitors.
A misconfigured firewall can also disrupt server communication, preventing a website from loading.


       Does it come and go for any of you?
       For me it is totally gone , then, like today it is a bitch to deal with.

Miraculously it seems to be working at
this odd hour.
The dreary weather has me all bunged up
with pains, so I have to get up and sit in a
chair for a while, or wash any unwashed
dishes or utensils, etc. until I can feel
sleepy again if at all.

I thought I'd give this a try.
Seems to be ok after being on the blink all
day tuesday.

I do wish I had some helpful advice on what
to do, but I do not.
All I can say is that I believe that it's from
outside influence and not from GBOR

Matt is wrapping up a major chore today I think. All week he has been emptying a warehouse of a friend of his and moving the stuff to another location. I have no clue why. He's had help but has been working at it all day long.

Tomorrow he is going with me to pick up a Lexus SUV for me. I'll give him my 2017 Toyota Tundra which I just can no longer get up into. I can just step into the Lexus and then out. Much easier.

Going out the door to do the test drive I fell going down two lousy steps. Hit really hard on the right knee. It hurts but no permanent damage, small scrape and very sore however. I do tend to fall a lot these days, usually on much softer surfaces than pavement. I don't recommend falling on pavement as a regular past time. Not fun!

We will go tomorrow to pick it up.

It is still here. It hit me just now trying to sign in.
It did not last long, but that is no silver lining.

No difficulties for me for the last three days.  Maybe it's just wrong timing?
