Copped the 504 Gateway Timeout error today.

Sometimes have wondered if deleting some of the 3,329,142 posts and compacting the database might help?

That would not help at all.
The problem is about the traffic load on this site -
providers of such services usually over sell it
to too many customers and the bandwidth capacity can't cope.
It must be slower than old dial-up from 1991 when it takes
2 minutes to open a page.

What is wrong with you Marla?

Is there something we should know about? -
is there anything you need to tell us?

Site isn't slow for me today so far but I have noticed something else which is a bit weird.

Several times over the past few days I've logged in and found I wasn't actually logged in at all and I've had to do it again.

I always log out when I'm finished here. In fact, I have Firefox set up so it deletes everything (cookies, logins, etc.) when I close the browser.

Hasn't happened this morning but I've only logged in 2 or 3 times up until now.

Then again, if it's only me then it might be more of those "senior moments'"? Undecided

Reply #266 - Oct 10^th, 2025 at 11:05am Slow and the “No HTTPS” message has come up a couple of times—seems, from discussion upthread that when the site is slow the HTTP certificate is sometimes not found.
