AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on experiencing the 502 Bad Gateway error, particularly noted around 7 AM GMT, which may coincide with server backup activities that often cause temporary issues. A shared link suggests that the problem might relate to recent server changes. Users report intermittent freezing on specific operating systems, indicating potential compatibility issues with recent updates. Despite the frustrations, there is a suggestion to monitor and report the frequency and duration of these errors. Overall, the community is encouraged to share their experiences to identify patterns and solutions.

Was this around 7am GMT? If so, this is (used to be?) when the backup took place, which often returned errors for a few minutes.
 
0800 GMT, however I have not seen it since.

I just thought the link might be useful to someone in case it has to do with the server changes and I would post it whilst I could, just in case.

The only thing that has improved(?) in the UK internet recently is the hype.

everything else has gone downhill.

I've been seeing some temporary (10 - 30 seconds) freezing at PF in the last few days, but only on Windows7, not XP.
I'm not sure if this is to do with the server change or the bumper Christmas updates to windows and IE from Microsoft.

Anyway, thanks for the interest, I'm hoping it will go away if I ignore it, like most things.

Thanks for the notification. Please keep reporting such errors and recording when they happen and for how long.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
