Loads of 502 bad gateway errors today

[SerendipityJane]

Might want to check your logs. Load balancing ?

Me too.

I just tested it by posting on this thread in another tab, and it didn't work for me.

Hi all...

We're having some server issues at the moment that the team are currently working to fix.

I'll post an update as soon as everything is stable.

Thanks for your patience.

You've just checked that I am human and need to see if my connection is secure again @LilyMumsnet That's on every thread I click on, every action I do on the site. I've lost count of how many times it has done this in the last half an hour.

i just had to verify i am human when i went to another thread!
gave up with that thread its quite big

does this mean i have to turn the computer off and tidy up?

A clearer has just unplugged a server to plug the hoover in ...

Same here plus the are you human verification thingy.

I have had a number of 'just checking if you are human' today.

I have to say I think anal probe was a bit unnecessary, but although on reflection...😊

502 bad gateway has been going on for months now

I'd hazard a serious guess that a load balancer isn't working, so a server cluster is being hit with more traffic than usual, and that has tripped a rate limiter to prevent automated postings or DDoS attacks. Couple that with the architecture of MN trying to move the busier pages to the fastest response and some things won't load in time.

Same here.
Cloudflare verification, 502, post ticker not working. Android/Chrome for mobile, 100 per page.

Though only since about 17:30

I’ve just had “verifying you’re human” when I refreshed the page

Hi all...

Things should be stable again now.

Unfortunately we had an issue with one of our servers that is now resolved.

Please let us know if you have any further problems.

Thanks

Ah. Thanks for letting us know @MattTech

There are only so many times I can verify I'm human before I start to wonder whether I am indeed real or just a figment of my own imagination.😂

I wonder if I can use this excuse when I step on the bathroom scales tomorrow morning? 🤔

I blame the Mogwi

@Dabberlocks No problem at all! I was beginning to think I wasn't human when we were trying to get it sorted! 😄

Same problem again tonight

It's awful tonight. Don't know if it's an update or an attack.

Yes keep being asked to verify I am human.

Same for me too

It's taken me ten minutes to access the site just now. Cloudflare kept asking me to verify, spinning like crazy, then the verify box showed again. And again. And again.

Guessing it's a DDOS attack by the bored ones 🙄

They've done something to the site as now I see a bookmark pop up every time i load a page.
