[QUOTE=Bastardale;7391277]Does anyone know if there is a more permanent fix for this problem being looked at? I'm getting around it by using firefox and pasting the http (minus the s) address into the url bar. But firefox is not my preferred browser. DuckDuckGo works as-is but their default search engine has some sort of built-in anti-porn protection that I can't figure out how to turn off. And when I use Chrome I use incognito and I don't think the unsafe flag setting will work, even if I wanted to set up my browser that way (which I don't). It seems there are a lot fewer posts than usual here, and I'm guessing that's because some users haven't figured out a way around the error or the users that can get here are getting annoyed by having to do weird workarounds (like me).[/QUOTE]Look at my post, two down. That technique premanently fixed the problem for me.

Since I have Samsung phone. I use their internet now and everything work fine. So I would say if you have iohoje use safari.

So I went on safari and tried that way, but it wouldn't recognize my credentials. I had to rejoin under a different user name (the one I'm using now), which is just backward from my original user name and password. But I lost my senior status and post count. All because I couldn't remember what email I used some 10-15 years ago.

USASG needs to install a SSL cert. Its 2025 its not hard or expensive any more.

Couldn't rejoin with my old login info, Couldn't remember what email I used to register with some 15 years ago. And Admin can't find it.

[QUOTE=SalamanderFour;7386719]I was getting the 502 Bad Gateway error. It was odd, something changed, as now many different browsers gave same error. I tried Firefox, Brave, Chromium, Tor, all gave that error. These on a Linux system. Falcon browser worked! I usually use Brave browser, and I fixed it there by adjusting these settings:

Privacy + Security, then Site + Shields Settings, then Permissions, then Additional Permissions, then Additional Content Settings, then Allowing Insecure Content for "http://www.usasexguide.nl/".

You had to paste in that address as an exception, allowing insecure content for that website.

That change finally get it working again.[/QUOTE]I was going to say that I very infrequently get the 502 message, and considering the alternative of the site not being reachable etc but I just reviewed my settings and I do have exception enabled (I think you can also set it by clicking on the site settings in the address bar, and allowing it).

I'm hoping that there is a better solution put out there by this site. I don't have the numbers to back this up, but it seems like there are far fewer posts over the past few weeks than usual. If that's the case, I'm guessing a lot of users are having this problem and are getting locked out of this site.

Nl" and "[URL]http://usasexguide.nl[/URL]" to the exceptions for HTTPS-Only mode. Of course, that would mean leaving the url in a place where anyone with access to your browser could potentially find it.

I gave up screwing around with chrome and duck, etc.

Is Firefox the best one to use.

[QUOTE=Ruffur;7397179]Is Firefox the best one to use.[/QUOTE]Best? Beats me, I'm not a computer expert, but so far it is the only one I can get to work and I use private mode. Tried doing same with Chrome, Edge and Duck but no go. Others on here with more expertise perhaps have suggested settings changes, or a specific exemption but I don't want to leave a trail either.

I also sometimes use a old iPad and Safari still works in private mode too, but I always do a delete history when done just in case.

Normally I visit on a pc, but I tried my phone, and it's a no-go. I dug into Brave browser, and got it too work. I did all this, but I'm not sure which on made it work.

I did these in settings, but they wouldn't work until I typed in the address into a new page. Reloading the old page was a no-go.

Settings changes:

Don't upgrade to HTTPS.

Allow cookie consent pop ups.

Allow all trackers + ads, cookies.

Pop up redirects allowed.

It was a struggle. Remember that after the changes you must re-type the address into a fresh page, reloading the old page is no good.

It seems that the 502 issue has been resolved.

[QUOTE=ChoirBoy;7412696]Damn! Sometimes I wish cellphones had a feature that would let you block phone numbers.[/QUOTE]Check your menu. My Android phone has that. I use it all the time. I'd be surprised if Iphone doesn't provide the same option.
