Well, that was a bit scary. Wanted to go back to home page, got "gateway

[niyad]

error" for several minutes. No other site I checked affected.

1. DU was down for me for a few minutes too.

Dunno what happened but it's back!

2. Temporary issues, as usual.

It's a busy day politically.

3. Was 504'd

for about 10 minutes

4. Had just hit POST on a discussion

It was, of course, BRILLIANT lol and now, lost to posterity.

Thinking I should compose on a word doc, save, then copy/paste to post. This has happened on other sites and I did resort to the 'type on WORD, then copy/past to post' method.

8. I used to do that, on a previous computer that had a number of issues.

Saved a great deal of frustration once I started doing that.

11. With added benefit of having the composition for use elsewhere

Like LTTE in one's local paper and on other forums.

5. Same thing here.

6. I had 504 timed out messages. Obviously, I got on eventually.

7. DITTO!

9. Me too, on both PC and phone. Lasted about 5 minutes. Mine showed it was on DU's side.

10. Yes, I got that "bad gateway" message too, a couple time this morning.

Anyone have any idea what causes that?

12. For the more techie users, I recommend the GhostText extension to browsers.

https://ghosttext.fregante.com/

It's not a "drop in" browser extension, but I did get it to work with two different browsers. It mirrors what you are typing in the text area to a text editor of your choice. I use sublime text. The editor never forgets! Only drawback is that when you preview, you have to click on its icon in the browser extension panel, and you get a new mirrored text file. But you then have versions. In Sublime Text, they are unnamed tabs, but are saved automatically (anonymously) unless deleted.


Works on Mac, Linux and Windows.

13. That's when I shut down...

And went into town to take care of some business. I was glad to see it back up when I returned home.
