Why are there more 502 errors scince the last forum update, Im getting one for everywhere I go on the forum its starting to get really annoying.

And its not just a simple case of going. "Oh a 502 error, I'll just refresh the page." Because when I press refresh I get another one and another one.

I actually have to close google and restart it again.

And I've posted on the 502 error occurrence list once when I got 10 errors in 4 minutes.

It's a Joke and the Its making me consider going to reddit, but I don't want to leave this amazing community that we have here.

I do believe on the last several updates this happened because the forum being extremely crowded. If you look at the number of people viewing any thread it is up a lot more than normal.

True but there is also a decline in people posting so shouldn't that take some strain off the system

It would take a little strain off, but not enough to counteract the increase in people on the forums.

Moved to the Kerbal Network sub-forum, which is the place to ask questions about the forum.

I do not know if the precise cause has been pinpointed, but Squad is communicating with the hosting service about the problem in hopes of getting resolved soon.

I'm somewhat surprised the problem hasn't been reduced much since the Hypetrain stopped. There are more users online than before (likely looking for updated mods) but I suspect the F5 spamming is much less now that 0.24 is out.

Hope you guys are successful in finding the cause of this and fixing it.

502 errors are a result of a failed packet return if I'm not mistaken.. can be caused by quite a few things actually.

(quick google)

5xx Server Error

This group of HTTP status codes include those where the request for a web page or other resource is understood by the website's server but is incapable of filling it for some reason.

So basically the server says "yeah, I got what you need" then fails at sending it.
