I have seen the bad gateway several times over past month or two.
I've seen other odd things that I usually move past with a page reload.
Just today I logged in (selected "keep logged in") and was forced to log in again.
Might be due to https vs. http.

Possibly the issues are service provider proxies/caches in between. Hard to say but I know ISPs are filtering and they also use transparent proxies/caches.

It's possible some of the extended 5-10min 502 errors are the result of service provider proxies/caches. It may be worth doing a shift-refresh and also verifying that you haven't been redirected to an error URL. I've made a small number of changes today that should speed things up slightly and address an infrequent DB contention issue that we were unaware of.

Well the other night, I restarted my squid server, disconnected and reconnected my modem just to rule out my mess of a network, and cleared all caches on my end, and it didn't seem to do much. As of right now, everything is fine though.

Cheers,

I've had slow loading from time to time, which I put down to business and server load.

I've not had any of the other issues listed by OP.

@Jeremy:

I'll let you know what my LQ experience is over the next 24 hours or so. Haven't had any real improvements this far, but that's based on 5-10 minutes surfing the board. 2 time-outs and a few pages that took 5-10 seconds to load.

And, as always: Thanks for looking into this!

Today I have noticed extended loading times, I'd estimate 15-20 sec. This is when replying to a post. In the past, and usually, it only takes a few seconds.

EDIT: Posting this only took 1-2 sec. But in my last thread it took 10 times as much.

All of last night at work, I haven't gotten any slow loading pages, and got no 502 errors so far within the past 10-12 hours. I guess something is working now, eh? :p

Hi again,

Still having the same problems (seems to be worse atm, took me 3 retries to get on LQ....).

Don't know if this helps, but this is what happens most of the time:

- click on a link,
- page seems to load initially,
- See this in the status bar "elements 8/8" (white page) and it hangs there. It either takes 10-20 seconds before the page appears or it times out.

Just to make sure: This isn't a problem I only have at home. I also see this behaviour at work and (yesterday) at a costumer (all of them having different ISP's).

EDIT: First posting attempt timed out:

One of our monitoring locations is in the Netherlands and I'm not seeing any slowness from that location or on LQ right now in general. Can you email me a traceroute? Do you notice pages hanging on some non-LQ third party site?

--jeremy

FWIW, I'm seeing about 10% packet loss from the LQ load balancer to you, but other than that, times and StDevs actually look quite decent for a transcontinental link.

--jeremy

Hi,

Mailed you the traceroute info.

I'm not sure how to check for third party sites (I don't see any).

I also have a new "symptom": My profile page doesn't show any tabs, all info is shown on one page (see attachment).

** connection timed out while trying to goto advanced layout (need to upload the screen-shot)

Uploading the file when fast!

Hi,

First of all: Thanks for looking into this :)

Can you take a longer look? At times I do have a good connection (last a few minutes).

As you can see in the previous 2 posts I keep hitting time outs.

EDIT: No problems posting, reloading this last post.......

Update:

Haven't had any problems in the last hour or so.

This one seemed to have resolved itself while Jeremy and I where checking/testing some things. No changes where made by Jeremy on his side (and neither did I on my side).

Closing this for now but feel free to add similar issues (I'll 'un-solve' this thread if that happens).

Jeremy: Thanks for the time and effort!

Yeah, I'm not experiencing any lag on my side, and it has been working pretty good for the past half hour. Note in my last post, I spoke to soon, and it was taking 20-30 seconds just to reply to a thread. I guess Jeremy threatened to install Windows on his machines, and next thing you know, everything started to work properly? ;)
