A couple questions that I'd like to hear from you guys about:
1) Have you experienced any database errors in the last few months while using speedsolving.com?
2) If so, has it happened more than once?
3) How frequent does it happen?
4) Does it typically happen just just browsing, editing, posting, and all?

Thanks.

I basically have the same thing as odder.

1. I get the 502 also.
2. I've had it happen like two or three times.
3. The times it happened were a couple months apart for me.
4. And yep the whole site is down for a little while

I haven't experienced anything. It's been great for quite a while for me now. In saying that, I can't visit as much as I once did because of work.

1. 502
2. Exactly three times
3. Once every two months or so
4. It happens when I first enter speedsolving.com, so I can't do anything. Afterwards, it seems like the site is down for a period from a few minutes to a few hours.

Edit: Did happen in the last few months or so

I think it's happened once or twice, but I don't remember the details. It's always done that for me, though - I haven't noticed any increase or decrease in frequency lately. Overall, it seems more stable now than it was a few years ago.

I agree with Mike Hughey on that on that.

Just had one trying to edit a post:

Everything else worked fine after that; I opened speedsolving in a new tab to get to this thread and had no problem. I then tried editing my post again and it worked.

I've been getting quite a few of them just now as well - perhaps over a dozen in the last 2 minutes:

Clicking "Settings" to view my subscribed threads, checking my avatar + signature, even trying to read this post I encountered half a dozen database errors.

Same here, also, there are SQL problems with the weekly forum competitions site. Had to log in and out and refresh multiple times to submit my times.
