My web hosting company and its firewall security partner created a problem for access to the website that caused the FORUM and other elements of the website to be unavailable from sometime Friday evening (August 23, 2024) until about 9:45 a.m. Saturday morning (August 24, 2024). It took the hosting provider quite a bit longer than anticipated to remedy the problem.
If you got a intercept that there was a 502 error, Origin Server Not Responding, you were experiencing that outage.
The full website is now available, and I hope it stays that way without further interruptions, as when something like that occurs it creates significant anxiety for me. I guess that is part of the "fun" in trying to keep a website available for 30-years.
To be back on-line again produces a very satisfied feeling.
