...so now that March Madness is over could someone at IT Support there look into this ongoing Bad Gateway issue with the forum host?
Once again been hit with a frequent crashes, often having to refresh [F5] multiple times to get back to the forums.

I've had issues as well in the last few days, no errors, but the page just keeps loading.
For every 2 pages on the forum I get a 'Bad Gateway Error' at the moment. It's... not conducive to relaxed browsing.

I had the problem yesterday. Today it is - knock on wood - better so far.
Yesterday evening I just gave up due to the constant gateway problems.
I found that if I close the page I hit it with, opened a new one, went straight to the forums, I was able to get to the conversation I was trying to get to. But, it really irritates me.
Has it been determined for sure if the trouble is their servers, or DAZ's Internet service providers?
Either their servers are about to implode or they have the world's cheapest/worst contract with their provider.![frown frown](https://www.daz3d.com/forums/plugins/ckeditor/js/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.png)
The products I bought this morning continually 'download failed!' message when I attempt to download through DIM. I'm getting the 'bad gateway' message when I try to download manually. Payment went through with no issues, of course.![sad sad](https://www.daz3d.com/forums/plugins/ckeditor/js/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png)
Almost certainly not the same issue, and it does have a thread.
many by looks
and yes coudflare is working and I click to tell them that's not helpful all day![surprise surprise](https://www.daz3d.com/forums/plugins/ckeditor/js/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png)
Now that is what I call irony...
Clicking on this thread to post here, and I get the "Bad gateway" error -- At least it was only a couple of minutes this time to get back here compared to the past two days.
Pre-qualifier for my theory : 'Draft Saved 10:08' (not even finished with my first line), 'Draft Saved 10:09' (working on my second line), 'Draft Saved 10:11 (just finished writing 2nd draft saved statement)', 'Draft Saved 10:12 (just finished writing previous statement)'.
So, my theory : I am an extremely slow poster -- Average post is 10 - 30 min. , and I noticed yesterday when the bad gateways started I was on a lengthy post well past 20 min. when instead of getting the little black 'Draft saved at (time)' in the lower left corner, half my screen was blocked by a giant version of the black bar with some kind of error protocols.
Maybe there is a 'Draft saved' timeout, or total number of times it is allowed that is triggering the bad gateways to be pushed forums wide affecting everyone else.
Might not be the causation, but just an observation.
Just had my approximately 20 - 25 'Draft saved' and time at 10:21...
And, why it only happens with the Forums...
Cloudflare is used by some of the biggest organisations out there and they seem to be reliable. I do not have problems getting to any other site or web store or forum anywhere other than this DAZ forum. This has been the case for years now - the Bad Gateway erros go back a long time and if anything has been done to investiagte why, nothing has worked. I suspect server issues but the forum seems to be a low priority because I can always get to the store to spend my money.
This is probably my fault… I’ve been away from the forums for a while and the moment I started posting a few days back, I noticed the forums were freezing and Five O’twoing all over again.
I apologize for this, but it’s not my fault… recently I seem to have been cursed by a one eyed old lady (technically, a “Hag”… but ever since The Odyssey was called out for its unfair depictions of cyclops, I’ve been avoiding Ancient Greek labels like “Hag”, “Cyclops” or “Minotaur”)…(Though, I’m still using “Stygian Lamia” and especially “Satyr” because I can’t stand those goaty flute playing jerks leaving their little goat nuggets all over)… But anyway, apparently I gave her wrong directions and sent her to a RiteAid instead of a Walgreens, which I realized long after it was too late… unfortunately this all bears the classic hallmarks of a typical Hag's curse, for which I apologize.
It really was a genuine mistake because I get CVS and Walgreens mixed up and the place I sent her used to be a CVS, but they changed over to RiteAid a few years ago and I keep thinking it’s a CVS and even though she said Walgreens, I was thinking CVS… the cackling probably threw me off a bit too… that and the freaky red eye… I’m still not sure if that was the good eye, because they were both pointing in completely different directions like a chameleon or something… you all probably know how hard it is to have a conversation with a chameleon, because you never know if it listening to you entirely because one eye is always pointed somewhere else more interesting…
But anyway, the thing that really sucks is she didn’t even hand me one of those ornate iron boxes hags tend to give you when they ask travelers for directions…
Granted, they are all cursed and it’s usually a test of one’s self control and curiosity… Actually, I usually just toss them into a Goodwill or Salvation Army Donation bin, but it’s the thought that counts… This is probably just another lousy cutback, like how you frickin’ have to ask for napkins and ketchup when you go to Burger King…
I mean really, I can understand ketchup, but napkins… do I really look like I don’t need napkins… I eat like a monkey on a roller coaster, I need napkins… lots of them.
But whatever…
If this is indeed my fault, I apologize.
But if it's not…
What the hell yo?
Come on, how long is this gonna keep happening… I know the forums are considered as not being all that important, but realistically the forums are DAZs first line of problem solving and technical help and just as importantly, they foster a sense of community.
Why the hell do you think I post here… it’s not just because of the restraining orders the zoo and various public institutions have filed against me… it’s because I like helping people…
Technically I’ve never actually helped anyone, but that’s besides the point… there may come a time when I might actually know something useful.
Till that day comes the forums need to work for everyone…
But yeah… for whatever reason, the forums definitely have been constantly crappy lately.
Secret Message: If you read or follow "The Complaint Thread" you would get the whole Hag thing... if not sorry.
I am amazed I post as often as I do considering how hard it is to visit this forum
I suspect that is actually why I post so much.
Its as if I need to reward myself for all the effort taken to view it.
I read other forums endlessly and never post a word.
Oh on the 6th it wasn't. The entire store was failing to load. The forums were impossible, I gave up and posted my pics over at DA.
Today it appears to be back but I'm not trusting it'll stay.
Today, I am having the same issue beginning this afternoon. If you click a gallery pic from the product page, it will not load --The gallery itself is having trouble loading, but does after a bit. When clicking on the "One with Nature" Sales page, I get a blank page and this error message:
I had a gateway issue pop up while writing a post. Never had that happen before. Literally took over the page, so I couldn't finish typing, but I could at least copy the text to paste later.
that happens to me a lot
I get store server errors on this link from the front page
https://www.daz3d.com/one-with-nature
...I've taken to writing and editing my posts in Word and then pasting it into the Forum edit window.
There's an "X" at the top-right corner of that pop-up, which you can use to close it
Yeah, I think I might start doing that, to be safe.
Oh, I didn't even think to look for an X. I just saw massive text on the screen and went into panic mode hehe. Thanks for letting me know!
Maybe it will get better once they move to Canada.
...wonder if Daz "Zero Hour" will be bsed on Pacific TIme then.
Have they figured out time zones yet?
Oh, you'll find out when the finally define "DAZ Soon©®™"
...no not "Daz Soon".
...new hobby of mine...collecting unique gateway errors...
What I have so far:
A lot of these are due to server overload. Causes of a 502 Bad Gateway error. Server overload: Due to traffic DAZ server has exceeded its operational memory capacity and has overloaded, which is normally associated with an unexpectedly high number of visitors trying to connect to the site at one time, it isn’t much you can do as a user, but we should check and confirm that the problem isn’t at our end. It's not.
