Am I the only one on the WP site tonight who keeps getting 502 errors some of the times I try to post replies to other posts?

The site also gave trouble over my password. At first it accepted the password, but after one of the 502 errors I cleared the browser data cache, so I had to relog-in. At that point WP insisted that I was using the wrong password, which I wasn't, so I finally had to click on the "Forgot my password" link, and get a generic one sent to my email account. Then I had to go to my email account, copy down the generic password, click the activation link, and use the new password to get back into my WP account. After that I went into my account settings to change the generic password to something that is easier for me to remember. It's pretty annoying, and so are the frequent 502 errors. Hope this issue gets fixed soon.

I have had similar troubles, today and in the past. They seem to come and go. At times, when I find it difficult to post, I simply log off and start anew. And if logging off won't work, I leave the site and come back. Then I'm automatically logged off and free to log in again. It seems to help.

I noticed it too today. Very auti-unfriendly. It knocked me off my feet and I started to obsess about it (checking every 5 seconds).

What happens is the server shuts down nightly at 12 am (east cost time) for maintenance I suppose, which should last about 15 minutes, but it often doesn't come back on for several hours. Then there are also periodic shutdowns throughout the day that last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. This all probably due to early 2000's technology at work.

It's not just you, but it is for the most part just Wrong Planet.

I've never known of any other forum that shuts down like this one does. But then again I have only been on them since 2013. I don't know how they ran back in the early 2000's.

I used a few forums in the early 2000s & they never had a problem. WP's biggest problem is that it uses crapflare. I go to other sites that use it & they have these kinds of errors a lot too.

Never had a problem with forums in the late 90’s and early 2000’s

I sometimes wonder if WP is getting DDoSed. Load times are usually way longer than they should be, and I keep getting these intermittent 502 errors.

I have a feeling the wp server is so antiquated it just simply gets overloaded by normal activity.

Whatever the case wp is noticeably dying.
