at 12:28 | Re: 404 messagewell? finding what it is , is good... fixing it will happen .. i have the games i run and play in here... there is one other site a play a game in..ONLY..because it was on a site that crashed years ago..i tried to get the GM to bring it here..but he went to another site.
worst site in the world..takes forever for screens to pop up..CS are worthless caus eveeryone can see them( i just send the DM updated sheets in PMs and keep it as my CS)
and? to find the game ...good luck... I have a link in my Favs that takes me to the game, or else it would takes forver to find it again... now? the DM and some other s love it...i assume, that once you get used to searching you butt off, you can find what you want?...
bottom line..this is the place to be... so i hope they can patch it up!

Please let jase know that I'd be glad to help out, even just to bounce ideas off of. In real life, I'm a senior software architect for a company that specializes in web application development.

at 15:38 | Re: 404 messageThe easiest would be to get on Discord.
It seems to be a server problem though, to quote, "unreliable and convoluted".

You get out of a game the
effort you put in it !!
Wed 29 Apr 2020
at 15:55 | Re: 404 messageMight I suggest that it be posted on Discord and the FB page. I have a theory about it and that is just that a theory but with so many people staying at home over the world it would mean that more people are on the internet and more are logging into RPol. Just more of a power surge that the servers, etc aren't used to. Just a guess.... and I am getting the 404 too but never heard of the 504 until now.

at 16:03 | Re: 404 messagePlease do not send rMails. We are aware of this problem, which affects everybody on the site, including us.
It may be server related, and therefore beyond our control, which means we have to wait for somebody to take a look at it.
Many websites are suffering similar issues, but a lot of hosting companies are currently running with skeleton staff only.

at 16:16 | Re: 404 messageServer staff are fully aware of this issue and have been contacted. They're doing everything they can. There's a limit to what can be done and how fast it can get done, though, TL;DR.
It sucks, but hang in there. It'll get fixed :)

at 21:48 | Re: 404 messageToday I haven't been getting any 404s but I did get 502s on 2 or 3 separate logins. Idk what "502 Bad Gateway" means, it it sounds a little more ominous than "404 Page Not Found".

A 502 Bad Gateway Error is a general indicator that there's something wrong with a website's server communication. Since it's just a generic error, it doesn't actually tell you the website's exact issue, just that there is "something wrong".

If that doesn't work, I hear if you feed the hamsters honey roasted peanuts they run faster.

clean..easy to use..Mads are on top of things to keep jerks in line( or off our boards)..and when this goofy stuff pops up..it gets taken care of.

at 03:46 | Re: 404 messageSmall update on this;
I noticed some pages taking 8-10 seconds to load yesterday which in this instance was more helpful than pure error messages. I believe I've tracked it down to SQL performance issues as everything came good after I restarted the database server. I'll continue to keep an eye on it in the hope I can see the bottleneck starting to reduce performance again. Unfortunately after the restart everything came good so I currently can't track down where the bottleneck was.
I did change a few performance settings, one was to change the database wait time from 28800 seconds (8 hours!) to 30 seconds. That might lead to a slightly more helpful error message if the issue rears its ugly head again.

at 05:05 | Re: 404 messageI get this sometimes via my VPN in California, US, too. I try again 30 seconds later and it works just fine. 404 can be a lot of things, and the error is not specific. To people that don't understand how inadequate server error messaging is, I would urge you to chill out and refresh the page.
