Forum won't load on my iPhone?

Every day this week when I visit AFI, I attempt to access the forum from the main page. I keep getting an error message that there is a bad gateway? When I get home I check from my laptop, everything is fine. Che k from my phone and I have to log back in. What gives?

Hmmmm... Not sure what that would be. It works on my iPhone. I'm typing this reply on my iPhone.
What day did that issue start for you?

I have the same problem with my Droid.

Can get the main page, can't get to the forum. It says; "Data connectivity problem. The server failed to communicate. Try again later."

Happened each and every time I try to hit up the forums.

I'm on my iPhone now, but it happens each day. Usually when I get home and on my wifi, it works fine. But during the work day, and on a 3G network, it won't connect.

I'm also on a 3G network when I can't get in.

Are you guys using any sort of "shield" apps?

Or perhaps you're surfing using a proxy?

Try turning those off.

Sorry, I don't know what those terms mean, so I probably don't know how to turn them off. :oops:

My Tech Fu is weak.

To turn off proxy on your iPhone:

Got to Settings.

Select "Wifi" and view the wifi list.

Click the blue arrow next to the network you're using.

Scroll down the page to see the option to turn off proxy.

I'm in the same boat as Shellhead, but I never had a problem before last week. I got smart today and copied what safari routes me to when I'm not on wifi and on 3G. It says:

Response Error.

Technical description:
502 Bad Gateway - Response Error, a bad response was received from another proxy server or the destination origin server.

Any idea what that means? I hate not being able to visit the forums during the day!

Vader, I don't see that option on my phone. Also, it only works when I'm on Wifi. It doesn't work when I'm on 3G.

My bad. I should have read you guys said "3G" <slaps forehead> :oops:

Quick question - are you guys using the same provider?

tanglevine · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 7:37 pm

dunno about Shellhead, but I've got at&t.

Verizon.

I'm on AT&T - iPhone 4 and it works on both wi-fi and 3g for me.
