Having some problems posting and 504 timeout errors

30 replies

Any idea what this is about? Often recently I click "Post message" and the buttons go grey but the page hangs. If I refresh, the message doesn't look as though it's posted, so I have tried again, it still doesn't work, when I come back to the thread later, my post is there multiple times.

And earlier tonight I tried to start a thread and it wound up as a totally blank thread, with my title but no text in it at all. Had the same - post button turned grey and page hung rather than reloading. I made a new thread (copied and pasted the text) and it worked.

Then I keep getting slow pages and 504 gateway timeout errors. All very odd. Other sites are okay so it's not my internet.

I am using Chrome on Windows 7.

This has been going on for me for months now! Admittedly sometimes worse than others but still...

And every day without fail at around 1am

Hi everyone - Tech are working on a fix for this at the moment.

I just got 502 Bad Gateway, then my post was duplicated.

Same problem for me, using Firefox and a MacBook (Yosemite).

Oh and I already have threads I'm on set to 5.

Me too - laptop and Chrome, MN Classic.

Posted twice on one thread by accident.

I've been trying on and off for about an hour tonight to get into active talk

AdoraBell · 10/06/2015 02:17

And again when I just tried To Go into TÍO.

AdoraBell · 10/06/2015 02:13

It's taken me 5 attemps over an hour or so to Get To Active Convos. I haven't even tried TÍO yet.

Using an iPad, and the freezing when trying To review or post as mentioned happens a lot recently.

Ive noticed a few of them on threads in the past week. You post and refresh page and it shows as not posted so you post again. still shows as not posted. then you come out of the site and go back in and find you have multiple posted. This is the problem ive been having. And its just happened on the slimming world board so now its going to look like im boasting. Blush

Hi everyone - tech are looking into this. In the mean time, they've suggested going into 'Customise' and changing 'Threads I'm On - days to check' to '5'.

MishMooshAndMogwai · 03/06/2015 17:56

Me too! On safari on iPhone and iPad

LeoandBoosmum · 03/06/2015 17:51

Same here

ThatBloodyWoman · 03/06/2015 17:50

I've had problems with mumsnet for months.
Its frustratingly slow and unresponsive which is why I spend a lot more time on other forums nowadays.

timeforacheckup · 03/06/2015 17:47

Same here on mobile site

LIZS · 03/06/2015 17:43

Same problem here. I'm on safari with iOS 8.3 on my ipad

SistersofPercy · 03/06/2015 17:27

Add me to the list.
504 errors popping up left right and centre, when I post it just hangs for ages but does eventually post (though never leaves the post page).

Mac, Yosemite, Chrome.

winsomewitch · 03/06/2015 17:15

I've had the same problem all day.

I cant click on any threads without refreshing constantly then watching the wheel turn very slowly before i get the bad gateway pop up Confused

ElviraCondomine · 03/06/2015 11:42

Same here, PC, Windows, Firefox. Had no MN access for about an hour yesterday morning.

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 03/06/2015 02:27

Same here - on my iphone

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 03/06/2015 01:46

Wow... didn't even realise it had posted. The buttons just went grey and when I looked at the thread there were no posts from me after HeresmyBrightIdea's post. Sorry for the multiples!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 03/06/2015 01:37

I managed to catch and snip it just now - and when I tried to first post this, the page hung and the post was lost. That's happened before too.

Internet Explorer, Windows 8
