Dark0ne Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 The sites work with the three main browsers, old and new. What it really sounds like is you visited the site when it was down, and somewhere along your internet chain (whether it's your PC, your router or your ISP) there's some really bad DNS caching going on, to the point where if you visit the site when it's going through some temporary down-time your internet then thinks the site is down/doesn't exist, even if the site comes up within 5 minutes of being down. When you visit the site does it try to load the site for 20 secs or so, and then error, or does it just give the error straight away with no loading? You should look in to changing your DNS settings to use reliable servers that are updated regularly, like Google's or OpenDNS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyfizz Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 It tries to load and then errors, with various different varieties of our old friend NGINX, it can be 501 or 502 usually.I would have no idea how to change my DNS settings, I just plugged in meh BT Homehub and it works (well since I insisted they send me a new one as the old one was a bit dodgy...)

Dark0ne Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 That's not a DNS issue then, as the 501 or 502 errors are server side. And this is happening every time you use the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyfizz Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Not every time, that's the weird thing. It happens sporadically and goes on for a period of a few hours. Like the other day I thought there was a site problem, then others told me they could get on, so I wondered for a few seconds if I had been banned. Obviously not, hehe! It's certainly weird.

Dark0ne Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Try logging out and clearing your cookies for the Nexus sites. There's no reason why you should get a 501 or 502 error and other people shouldn't. 502 errors happen when the sites are overloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabwich Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 This site should help you check if the problem is just you or something more general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyfizz Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well I have done all of that and now, after it being fine all day, I can't get on Skyrim Nexus again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
