I thought these were some new intentional Cloudflare ads.

Most hosted websites (like cgccomics.com) have multiple connections to the internet for redundancy and scalability. These 504 errors happen so often it's almost like one of those connection routes has a bad or outdated setting. There has to be oodles of event logs to direct the tech folk to address these issues at both the Cloudflare and CGC sites.

Great poll options btw :)

I seem to get a lot of them mid morning in the UK and wondered if they were doing upgrade stuff 'out of US hours' so to speak. Nice pig 🐖

They hit me mainly in the later afternoon here in the Midwest US - which sounds like it jives with your experience. 

Would be nice if they put out some basic Maintenance Alerts to set expectations:

"During the process of upgrading the Board software, we expect intermittent connectivity issues from X:XXam/pm EST to ZZ:ZZam/pm EST on YYYday. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update you on our progress."

Only occasionally get a server / error message, and for a short period of time.

Page loading can be slow.

Thanks to everyone who voted. Just a bit of fun really, but I was starting to think it was just me. Usually when we have recurring performance issues you see grumbling here and there and I hadn't seen anyone else comment about it. Nice to know it's not just me. I'm probably just unlucky - if there are problems only once a day, the chap who logs in at that time every day will have a different experience to the chap who always misses it. It's quite zippy this morning though, happily. 

P.S. Death to the side bar!

Today was pretty bad. The past few days everything was okay. 

I've only been able to get into the forum twice out of the past 7 days, iincluding getting in today. I get the same gateway error page usually. Other times, I get in, but clicking on any of the links to go to Comics General or Spare a Grade sections are pointless; the links won't activate, as well as the notification links not active. That much hasn't changed in about 10 days. Even if I'm lucky enough to get into the forum on an active page and a link works, the notification lnks don't and I haven't been able to see (click on) any of my notifications in about 10 days.

That’s really bad.  I’ve had minimal disruption. :frown:

Pretty much the same thing I experienced when GPAnalysis revamped. That straightened itself out. I'm sure CGC is working on whatever the issues are that are causing user disruptions. I have no doubt CGC will cast out the ghosts and gremlins from the machinery.
