Already did, but NSF folk don't generally respond there.
Since there was an ongoing issue talked about on this thread, it's relevant here too.

EDIT:
...  And... It's back!   Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Just got another Bad Gateway Error Screen

Cloudflare Ray ID: 926cd13aebb95257

[catdlr]

HI,

Starting a few hours ago, I occasionally get this message when posting a photo attachment. After several tries, I managed to send it. You might want to check the DASD farm to see if a hard drive is full or corrupted. I can't attach the error screen, so typing the error here:


An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.
Back


Update: I've been up all night trying to post the Screen Grabs for last night's F9 Launch. Only a few images could be posted, and then it often failed. I waited a while and was able to post more until it failed again.

Yeah, I think the disk is getting full. Mark will sort it. Happens about once a year, easy to solve once Mark picks up the message

I knew you would see it when you started to post L2 images. Thanks, I thought it was my problem. Took me 8 hours to post the F9 launch from last night.

It appears to be affecting image display, too: thumbnails are all fine, but full-size recently uploaded images will throw a "404 - Attachment Not Found" error until force-reloaded (CTRL+SHIFT+R) a few times, at which point the full sized image will load.

My opinion is that the file directory is full and needs to be rebuilt after moving to another HD. The file directory holds the thumbnail, but the full images are stored on another HD. That's why you see the file name on the post, but when you click on it, access to the file directory is denied. Hopefully, we won't lose image pointers that force us to reload our images, since this started late yesterday.

Mark says it's fixed. Looks good to me, but test and let me know!

Gee, I get these every night at 11:28 p.m. PT.  I used to report them, but they continue every day, I just give it a few minutes, and all is well again.

[Chris Bergin]

Just servers refreshing. Usually just for a few mins.

Cloudflare outage on November 18, 2025 [Nov 18]

The issue was not caused, directly or indirectly, by a cyber attack or malicious activity of any kind. Instead, it was triggered by a change to one of our database systems' permissions which caused the database to output multiple entries into a “feature file” used by our Bot Management system. That feature file, in turn, doubled in size. The larger-than-expected feature file was then propagated to all the machines that make up our network.

[Chris Bergin]

Today has been grim so far. Hopefully now they've fixed it for good, but we'll see.

Seems to be returning.  I missed the entire Rock Lab Haste launch.

I'm getting "Bad gateway Error code 502" errors which say "You Browser Working, $City_near_deltaV Cloudflare Working, forum.nasaspaceflight.com Host Error" about half the time when viewing sections of the forum or individual threads for the past few minutes. E.g. Cloudflare Ray ID: 9bdf12bd2b8e26f1.

Edit: several other users are reporting similar problems in the other tech support thread starting at https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=50827.msg2750872#msg2750872.

Edit: got another, Cloudflare Ray ID 9be8334daacb1f8d, at 20:42 UTC on 1/15.
