I don't see... any of that, at all. PAFOA performs quite wonderfully, in my experience.

Some of what you're describing (bad gateway, log out/in) sounds like caching issues. Clearing your cookies and data for PAFOA might fix that.

For informational purposes, I use firefox and the noscript addon, though everything on PAFOA is set to "trusted," so presumably I'm not filtering much out with it.

It's a site issue. The problem occurs on multiple devices, on different networks, running different OSs and browsers, simultaneously. And it's intermittent.

I don't think it's the software that's expensive, it's the hardware and possibly the network connection.

IIRC, he doesn't host it in the cloud - he runs it on his own hardware. I think, fundamentally, that's the issue.

There has to be a POOFA member with IT experience on how to build it back better...

I've done all kinds of cache clearing, history, cookies, etc. ad nauseum. No difference.

I used to see that every one of Walleye's replies were duplicates and thought, 'WTH is this guy doing?' Now it happens to me the majority of the time.

I doubt your contributions keep the lights on, and you don't get a report of what's done with your payment, so you don't know. If it was a financial hardship, Dan could charge admission instead of collecting ad revenue.

My annual contributions are on auto renew. I wish the $ went towards fixing the system issues.

I called Dan out weeks ago in the 504 Gateway Timeout thread... he's MIA.

Can you ask Dan (the wizard behind the curtain) to weigh-in here?

On occasion here or there I'll get 504 gateway issues and I just have to be patient and reload the page.

Two different computers I browse on. They both get the 504's at different times, but eventually, based on how much browsing. Soon as it happens, ctrl H and clear and it immediately fixes it. Granted I have to log into everything again, but it's a small price to pay.

What other forums do you enjoy and have continued to have enough activity and interaction to make it worth logging on?

I am mainly active on Glock Talk, the SIGforum, and the Defensive Carry forum. I peruse this forum mainly to keep abreast of what is happening in PA in regards to firearms.
