Superfluous J Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Will this help the 502 errors?Yeah, should cut them by at least 98 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerano Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 So I'm not the only one having these? They have been plaguing me so much lately. I hope it will fix it.Yeah, these have been such a pain for me too. I've taken to copying my longer replies to Notepad before I hit "post", because all too often the message gets eaten by the 502 monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilfr3d Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 A temp fix for those 502s though (only on windows):1. do windows key + r. The run box should come up2. in the run box type 'cmd' and hit enter.3. Windows Command Prompt will open.4. Then type 'ipconfig -flushdns'. This will flush your dns, obviously.5. Disconnect from your network, and close any browsers6. reconnect, and go back to the forums.This 6-step process always works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melfice Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 30 minutes tomorrow, July 15, between the hours of 9am and 6pm BST (GMT +1)Ah, good to see your host has giving you a very specific timeframe."Plan accordingly" around complete uncertainty. I'm not blaming you, of course! This is as much an annoyance to you guys as to us. It's just funny.I'll stay hopeful. *coughdelusionalcough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasperVld Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 With the current hype for 0.24 going on and a whole heap of extra traffic coming to the forums I've tweaked some things to help lighten the burden on the server. Hopefully this will reduce the amount and length of 502 error occurences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 @All (except Squad, obviously) Stop posting to this thread! Have you any idea what it's doing to me every time I think "is this the announcement" only to find it's just this! @~| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilfr3d Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Woo! Way to go KasperVld! Btw, that quick fix is a quick fix for me because i do a lot of command prompting and batchwork. I made it quick because i made a batch file that does all of those things for me in less than a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
