    Getting it multiple times now, 50x errors, bad gateway and sloooooowwwwwww.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    It did get better for a couple of days, but ot is back with a vengeance tonight.

    Any acknowledgement that there might be an issue from MSE towers?

    Site down with "503" error on 22/07 from about 9:15pm to just before midnight.

    This after 2 hours of very slow running.

    Hi

    I'm checking if there is any progress with fixing this.

    Please let us know if you see any pattern to these errors. e.g. specific browsers/devices. Whether logged in/out.

    Screenshots can be helpful - particularly when you see Cloudflare issues and it has reference numbers.

    (I've seen this error myself and have already sent some info over)

    I am always logged in so can’t comment if it happens at other times.

    I don't believe it is/was a Cloudflare issue.

    During the slow running phase I got the Cloudflare screen which said connection to Cloudflare London was OK but Cloudflare couldn't connect to the Host. Also, other websites that use Cloudflare were operating normally throughout.
