I got hit by the 502s on the forum at about the same time as well.
502 - Bad Gateway
At 09:00 AEDT or 22:00 GMT on 23/11/17 the forum main page dropped out and then returned to normal operation after about two minutes or so with the assistance of the refresh button, this interruption appeared to correspond with the scheduled regular backup time but it was mentioned in a recent post that these events should no longer be occurring, I do not know whether events around this time window are to be ignored or informed.
For a few minutes ~1.23PM NZ (11.23AM Sydney) time all attempted contact was 502's.
Came right on its own.
Maybe caused by a power overload, 121 gigawatts ?

It certainly was, this time it wasn't a server issue as such, it was simply an inrush of hits to the shop to buy meters.
Woah, EEVblog suffered from the EEVblog effect.
Error 502 Ray ID: 3c4867e87c146ab5 • 2017-11-27 22:08:34 UTC Bad gateway
I got error 502, for around 4 to 4.5+ minutes.
It is now 9:52 PM UK time.
(yesterday, at around this time, maybe 10:18 PM ?, I also had error 502 for a couple of minutes or so)
Then a few seconds before it restarted ok, I got this:
Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
For few minutes 10.55am till ~10.59am (8.55 am Sydney time) 502's
I have been getting persistent errors since joining up. I am assuming you have cleaned out the error logs on SMF? It doesn't like being large. So rather than been strictly a server issue it may also be a backend SMF issue contributing to the server load? There is also a few ways to then use the server log to debug any SMF issues.
Also I haven't found a thread related to forum setup ideas and while I understand this forum is bare bones SMF this Mod giving some simple up down navigation buttons is worth adding. I have used it in a couple of forum builds/rebuilds in the past. The Mod author is also good at keeping it updated to current versions too.

Got 502 from cloudflare right now.

Bad gateway
Still occasionally running into the (I think) backup problem, but it's early today. Happened about 4 minutes ago (21:45 UTC), normally it happens around 10 minutes from now (22:00 UTC).
502 - Bad Gateway
We are having server side difficulties and are working to resolve these issues as fast as we can.
If you are able please report this error to this thread. But before posting please read the instructions carefully!
Err 502 again on Dec 28, 2017, around 21:45 UTC. Was in error for quite some minutes.
Accessing:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/unreadreplies/(but from the quite often seen errors 502 I get here, I observed it is irrelevant of what browser, device or page. The server just spews E502 from time to time - or maybe quite often.)
Same here - 502. Do you still want these reports?
Err 502 yet again on Dec 29, 2017, around 21:45 UTC. Was in error for quite some minutes.

//It seems like I am repeating myself, but so is the error.
I just had a bunch of 502s, about 5-10 minutes ago, on all pages tried.
What I just learned is to copy before Posting. I worked 1/2 hour on a reply and lost it. This is the second time in the last few days. Seems this is becoming a regular thing.
Yeah, I've already noticed, the E502 is repeated every day at least at 21:45 UTC.
~10.42am Sydney time. Any pages tried. Lasted less than 5 mins.
Sort of every other day there are 502's.
Today the same again. As regularly 21:45 UTC, the server goes bust for about 3-5 mins.
