The old error above has returned from yesterday on certain forum pages after being ok for ~ 8 months
Has the forum web server been updated or something ?

Yes, I saw it this morning, one of the general chat threads,
it was a two page thread, first page was fine, second page
was bad gateway, nothing to do with cookies on my pc or tv.

I will go fetch it and let you know which one.

I just get a blank page.. Win7 64/FF browser.

Look's like miguelvp was the last one in there,       
so we can all point the finger at him for leaving it a mess..

Nope, I had the same problem so I did hit reply and saw Dave that posted test or something like that.

So what I posted in my reply was:

somewhere in page two of this thread something went really wrong, I just get a blank page and the only way to read it is by pressing reply and read the messages bellow

Edit: I'm sure it wasn't Dave that broke it but he looked at it why it was happening. the bad post is probably the one before his. All you have to do is hit reply on page 1, in case you didn't figure that out

[miguelvp]

Here are the captures of the posts missing, maybe posting more will make it jump to page 3.
Some of the screenshots have overlaps, didn't want to spend too much time doing it just right

Edit: or maybe Dave was testing something that broke the thread? Hey he could have been testing some new forum feature that went totally wrong!

That Keithley 2000 thread gives a 500 Internal Server Error for me on the second page. First page is readable.

Hi

I realize a few things:

1) This is an old thread

2) Stuff happens and generally gets fixed

3) In general things work very well

4) I have no desire at all to spend time debugging somebody else's code. I have plenty of bugs in my own ....

At what point does the "Bad Gateway" become a reportable / correctable error? It has been hitting me on the "show replies" section for several days solid. Is the trip point a week?

I experienced a bunch of 502s days back, may be 7-10 days ago.   For a while it was unusable.  Lately it has behaved for me.
knock on wood ! 

[uncle_bob]

Hi

I'm back up and running. It's just sort of weird how there is no real way to know if it's on my end (as in a cached error page) or something else.

Not always, but sometimes - like once in a week or so - I get this 502 error.

It happens ONLY for the https://www.eevblog.com/forum/...any_topic_here/, but never saw this error with other sites/forums. Reloading the page fix the error, but it's annoying, especially if it happens when you want to post a reply. At least I can still find the reply text and the edit form if I hit Back in the browser.

Had it on both www.eevblog.com and the forum a moment ago.

It happens to me when I use a link like:
www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php

It works when I just enter:

Administrator gnif is trying to get to the bottom of this, see discussion in this recent thread:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/bad-gateway-502/

[jpanhalt]

This thread is more than a year old, and administrator "gnif" seems to have no other response than to blame the users for the bad gateway fail.  Why hasn't it been fixed?

For at least the 6th time since I have been participating, I got this message (Bad Gateway message attached below).  It is a PITA to get fixed by the user.

Second, please update your attachments/images process to the 21st century.  Why can't we use ctrl+V to paste a png snippet in line with a comment?

Where is gnif blaming the user? He said it's high CPU load of unknown origin. He merely commented that force-refreshing isn't solving, but exacerbating the problem.

I am constantly get the 502 Bad Gateway error when I'm accessing the links on the right of my avatar, the "Show unread posts since last visit." and "Show new replies to your posts."

Have you tried a refresh?  That is F5 or CTRL+F5 (assuming you are Windows).

Yes this forum was almost unusable yesterday. Gave me time to do something productive with my life, like personal hygiene.

For a long time gnif was a volunteer. As far as I know he still is. But that may have changed recently. I also missed where he blamed users. Last I saw he said it was an issue with record locking during DB maintenance.

I did not blame users, I stated that forcing a full refresh, clearing the browser cache was pointless and exacerbated the issue, I never stated the issue was caused by users.

From yesterday morning (March 24 at 1:48 AM Eastern DST, USA) (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/news/forum-database-upgrade/msg1168976/#msg1168976 ):

Depends on time of day, to be honest this morning at 4:00AM (ADST) was the first time I had ever seen the 502 error personally, which was a lucky break as I was able to inspect the cause while it was occurring.

I have been using a refresh (F5 or CTRL+F5), and it has worked for me.  I interpreted your prior statement that such action "exacerbated the issue" as blaming those users, like myself, who use that workaround for making the issue worse. 

If that is not the case, can you explain why it seems to work, and more important, how you knew that it made the "situation" worse before you had actually observed the problem?  How does it make the situation worse for other users?
