It looks like I picked a good few days to go on vacation and away from the internet -except for the lousy weather and no fish bitin'

I've had the same experience. When I have problems, the forums work with IE, but not with Firefox.azw wrote:I'm still having problems, although instead of the 502 Bad Gateway errors I got last week, now I just get a blank page. This happens with Firefox nearly every try. I've had to use Internet Explorer to get into the forums.

Hi, Charlene,
It sounds like there have been several attempts to fix server problems at Chiffboard.mati.ca. From what I've noticed, there have also been different behaviors over time, so I don't think we're looking at just one thing.
I don't doubt that there was a problem before with IE. Now, however, there is probably a current setting that is doesn't work with Firefox. Of course, it could be a browser problem in addition. That's especially likely given that I'm not seeing this current problem with IE, Netscape, or Opera.

As an effort to contribute some perhaps useful user feedback, I've noticed a certain consistency to the occasional troubles of the C&F board. In particular, the troubles I have noticed generally tend to occur far more often during the wee hours of the night, and far less often during daytime hours.
I hope that helps.

You're right, and I'd thought about that missing detail after I'd posted.fearfaoin wrote:It would probably help more if people knew what time zone you were in :)Cork wrote:As an effort to contribute some perhaps useful user feedback, I've noticed a certain consistency to the occasional troubles of the C&F board.

So, I'm currently in EDT, currently at UTC/GMT +4 hours.

Keeping in mind that I have no idea what I'm really talking about ...
Our beloved minnow shares front-end bandwidth and back-end load (database, etc.) with a number of other websites. So it's possible that activity on these other sites may affect Chiffboard behavior in what seems like random fashion, depending on how load-balancing is implemented. The 504 Error probably means that some Chiffboard data requests are timing out from the back-end, and the problem disappears when the back-end frees up or is reset.
Now I expect Rich to jump in and confirm the truth of my opening statement.

An update.
I've upgraded my Firefox program (from 2.something to the newest version, 3.0.3) to see if that helped. Nope.
What's odd is that when I first open Firefox, a cached C&F page appears just fine. But as soon as I refresh it or click on a link, it goes blank. (I don't get the 502 error now.)
MTGuru, I don't think it's an issue with the server being busy on the back or front end. With Firefox I just don't get anything. Ever. I think it's got to be a setting on the server. Our new host should be able help us figure it out.
Whatever, I sure hope someone is working on this.
