choralc Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yes Fishy, I too had that with my Firefox browser which is my default but got what I needed (Service Sheet) by switching browser and the next day Firefox and Hornby played nicely again.

96RAF Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 It has to be a Hornby thing with an incompatability somewhere as when I get the 502 error on Hornby I can always access any other web page.Next time it happens I will try Airfix and Scalextric pages which should prove something one way or another.

Rog RJ Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Well I've just had it again. I'm giving up on this forum now. Bye for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I've had it for about 2 1/2 hours. Waste of time. Wait for me Rog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Is it the same on the Airfix and Scalextric sites or is it just Hornby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I have just looked the error code up on WWW - as I am sure will have many of us getting this message. It seems there is usually nothing wrong with your machine or that at the other end, but more of a perceived error server to server (so to take RAF's point above it should be all forums' if they all use the same server.). There are quite a few things you can do on the machine giving the error to resolve it. Anyway, for what it is worth here is the site giving the fix. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/502error.htm Hope it helps. R- P.s. - can't seem to get the URL linking thing to work.

96RAF Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/502error.htm There you go Rog, but not many of those fixes can be applied to an iPad even if you wanted to, like the old chestnut - restart your computer, (i.e. while the help desk chap gets a cuppa and runs up your phone bill).

RB51 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Ah, well done. Odd, normally that functionality is fine. Perhaps my PC didn't like spilling the beans on 502. 😎 R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 No, I'm not going to delete my cache and cookies just for the Hornby website. It's a big pain getting other saved websites to work when you do that. Besides, the Edge browser is newly installed and shouldn't have any cache or cookie problems. No other websites are reporting the 502 error. It's just Hornby, and they still haven't said a word about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 To preclude doing what I call a 'Murray Walker' and invoking disaster when things are running so smoothly I have deliberately avoided posting that since you two went off for tea together it has been fine, but now the tea pot is obviously empty and others are reporting the lurgy is back then I must report mine is still fine on my iPAD and in (or should that be on) Edge.

Fishmanoz Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 For the last 2 or 3 days, almost constantly unusable on iPad, fine on Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teedoubleudee Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 To answer an old age question: "No, I don't come here often." However when I do I've not experienced any problem (since they fixed the logging me off in the middle of a post problem). I use Mozilla Firefox if that helps.

Howbi Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Have a look at this website which allows you to see how many "hops" it takes to get data from Hornby.com to your modem......the routing to Cyprus, Australia and USA will be radically different to our local sites and, of course, we all use different providers.........my routing from Hornby went through 12 hops.........http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/troubleshooter/traceroute.html............so somewhere along the route there can be a failed Gateway which will affect one of us but nobody else, so outside Hornby's control......... 😀....HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 11 hops from Limassol from a max of 30 which I presume is when trouble kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the Hornby site is not optimised for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 And again earlier today. Happened both days when I went to log in. I'd already navigated through a couple of pages, went to log in and that was the end of accessing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 The 502 error should be fixed now according to Hornby's Facebook page. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
