502 Bad Gateway Message

The site was down for a while today. As you can see, we're back up. We're sorry for the inconvenience

Bad Gateway was back on Monday Feb 2.

Sorry about that. We had an issue yesterday with a couple of IPs that were causing trouble by doing something like trying to download the entire site aggressively, which resulted in the problem until they were blocked.

I just tried to open and reply to a thread in "Ask a Teacher" but got only a title, no post and then when I hit "Reply" I got "Sorry. This forum is not accepting new messages". Same issue still causing problems?

The software has been a bit hungover as a result, but should be back to normal.

Why can't I see members and my profiles?

I could not find the topic about problems. :-|
