504 Gateway Timeout

It's not just the cost of upgrading it's also a matter of time and effort it takes to do an upgrade. You must be careful to maintain the current database and be able for an upgrade to work with all the different browsers and operating systems that will access the site. It takes time to do all those things, a pretty good amount of it.

Thanks for dedicating a thread to the ongoing problem, Curmudgeon.

I'm not thinking it's dans fault, maybe it is.. I have a feeling all these browsers we use have some kind of
anti gun programs built into them so when you log onto a gun site, it always has bugs.
Change my mind.

I respect that as I have little/no knowledge on that topic.

Is the time commitment during the upgrade, then it drops off, or is there a pretty large commitment even to maintain after such an upgrade?

I'd be curious on the overall cost (including time) of moving in that direction, to see if we would step up to fund/compensate for such a task.

or posting a response, even when no error is shown.

I get 2 error results, the 504 is simply the one I just saw. If I see the
other error result I will post a screenshot.

Just an FYI for staff.

For me this type of timeout thing is happening across the internet, not just here. I have rebooted my PC and my router which helped a little.

I switched to Brave a couple of months ago when YouTube stopped allowing adblockers. It*s worked great with YouTube and Pafoa. I also use a vpn with my browser.
