I've had this message numerous times over the last few days, and the site is a little sluggish for me. Just a minor inconvenience, but thought I should FYI in case something needs investigating...

EDIT: And now also '503 Service Temporarily Unavailable'.

It also happened to me yesterday, and earlier today. Now everything seems fine.

For me it's been getting worse over the last few hours.

I've been experiencing the slowness today and got hit with a 502 and 503 error, but it cleared up after refreshing a few minutes later. Is something going on with the server?

ETA: And I just got a 502 again when submitting a post, so it's a good idea to make a backup of any long posts you're writing

I’ve had it, too. Can’t remember the number exactly.

I'm getting it too, and I'm being logged out occasionally.

I've been getting both 502 & 503 sporadically over the past three days, and it's happening a lot this morning.
Thanks!
Sam

EMK is investigating. We've had a lot of robot spammers trying to post their rubbish recently, so might be related to that.
