I'm dedicating Saturday (today, after I wake up) to the Guild, which will involve some admin stuff Hank and I have chatted about, but also a platform upgrade for the Guild's underlying software stack.

I've also been evaluating moving the Guild to a new host.

Cya soon.

Has it been the host that causes these 502's? They're very frequent for me personally (like, every time I click a subforum, PM's tab, profile tab) where as others report having it once in a while. Maybe some ISP's have more trouble communicating with our current host than others. I'm not that savvy with this stuff so perhaps this is a stupid thing to ask. But I've not had any real problems with 502's before yesterday so I wonder how big the problem was, since it seemed to be serverside, but temporary.

Could it be a region or bandwidth issue? I haven't seen the Bad Gateway message for the past month. I'm located in Australia. My online hours are the inverse of the US.

I'm in the Netherlands, so my hours are roughly 6-10 hours from USA. Issues came up later in the afternoon but, really, it shouldn't be a matter of time since servers are online day and night.

any chance of any new features for the more visible parts of the guild?

I have a lot on my plate with the code/platform upgrade. I'm probably 70% done with the code update after working on it for 10+ hours yesterday and for hours today so far. Trying to finish that up today.

Though since the Guild code has so many pathways through it, it's hard for me to test every bit of functionality myself. So when I push the update, I'll be spending time fixing bug regressions that people will run into.

One side-effect is that the code is being somewhat cleaned up and modernized which will let me implement other things faster.

After the platform update, my 2nd priority is the timeout issues since I hope the platform upgrade magically helps out with that.

Then my 3rd priority is to catch up with admin/mod stuff. It's 3rd priority because these timeout issues are pretty catastrophic so I want to figure that out first.

I'll be working on the Guild all week.

In other words, no new features to be expected.

In other words, patience is required while the parts you cannot see get fixed. You can't build a castle without a solid foundation, after all.
