Board is ill this morning

[DrakeM]

Keep getting three symptoms this morning (EDT):

1. 502 bad gateway trying to follow a link inside the forum, e.g. to open a thread - retry generally works the first time
2. failure to load an image from my computer into a post - retry generally works the first time
3. failure to post to a thread - usually will get the error but the post occurs, sometimes it won't; may have lead to some duplicate posts - retry enough times fixes it

I started seeing these yesterday afternoon. No other web sites are having problems.

Screenshot of the failure in symptom #3:

For symptom #1, instead of bad gateway, I've seen this:

and also this similar one:

Yup, we are aware of it as we are all experiencing the same things ourselves but a fix might be another 12 hours or so away from the time of me writing this message.

If I could fix it myself, I would - as I wouldn't have to delete all the double posts users are making across the board as a result of this problem.

This is now fixed unless anyone can tell me otherwise.

This pleases me as much as dino nuggies.

Trying to respond to a profile post, the first went fine. The second...

Also, the board really had to think about quoting you and then inserting the attached image

And then trying to access a thread...

And then trying to add the second bug report...

And then the board was fine for a few minutes, until...

(and didn't want to insert the new image)

Board worked mostly fine for a while, a few reloads needed for a few "Oops," but then I got another "fatal error" and refreshed to get this:

BAD BAD GATEWAY !!

I'm still trying to slog through it, folks

An exception occurred: [XF\Db\Exception] MySQL statement prepare error [2006]: MySQL server has gone away

bye bye server👋

Yikes, those Squid Quahog Lobster errors will get you every time.

Mean Mr. Mustard said this ....

and this ...

Thanks for confirming that it is fixed, everyone.

Things seem to be working okay. I've been on for almost twenty minutes now. I'm able to move about to threads easily. I haven't put up or attached any pictures yet. That was the majority of the issues that I was having earlier. This is my first post on the board since 8:38 pm last night.

 

[ban-one]

Things for me are going about as well tonight as they did last night

 

[Torre82]

This is FREEONES. It isnt supposed to have errors or go offline.
Where do you thinkwe are?

 

[John_8581]

After I logged into the board ... (I came on at 2:13 am early this morning.) ... I was moving from the forums to the threads and it gave me this ...

... So I logged out at 2:27 am. Other than now, I haven't been back since.

 

[Torre82]

THIS BULLETIN BOARD IS SICK.
... but FO's seems to be okay.

 

[DrakeM]

So far the board is working normally except for an occasional hiccup. Better than before but this time of day I largely have it to myself; it may not stay this way.

 

[ban-one]

Things seem fine so far this morning, hopefully they stay that way 🍀

 

[ban-one]

Have now had a couple of problems requiring a page refresh

 

[mentator75]

An occasional problem but I beat it into submission

 

[Torre82]

An occasional problem but I beat it into submission

This very reasonably describes the whole issue of being a man with a functional dick. heh

 

[DrakeM]

An occasional problem but I beat it into submission

Still an accurate assessment. Not completely cured but 98% cured.

Getting a few "Oops we've encountered a problem" and several "Fatal Errors":

The latter when trying to open a thread for the first time today, with a few refreshes eventually getting past it

And now this while attempting a search:
