well, i may have spoken too soon, as i’ve been having some performance issues this morning as well… lots of “loading” screen time, as well as delays in loading avatars (although, perhaps that could be tied to gravatar’s service?)…
At least my issues have been linked to something else. If there is a problem with Gravatar my expectation would be that the Avatars are simply not showing up, not that the site is loading slowly or not available at all. Especially the error message I have received (without loading any part of the forum) should be an indication for another source.
are you referring to the 502, or did you receive something else perhaps? and it seems they (discourse folks) have been working through some memory swapping issues recently, which should account for the performance problems…
… only the 502. Other issues have been the described lags.
Today, I had a 404 and a 504 error.
edit: When Stonehearth is fully released, expect DDoS attacks to skyrocket through the roof on the forums.
