Can anyone explain why I am returned time out errors when attempting to connect with the server? This happens every day and often several times per day. It's fairly annoying. Thank you

I'm experiencing this too. 524 error.

I am guessing but I would say the server is overloaded. It costs money to run this site. The good news is that it is a popular meeting place. The bad news is that the popularity may be slowing it down. It is easy enough to click on "Reload" which is what I do. This is a stellar board.
Seems most likely to happen in the evening, and perhaps coincidentally, often about 5 minutes past the hour. Waiting a few minutes and trying again loads the page ok.

I haven`t timed it precisely but evening time (UK) seems to be the most prevalent time .
It`s certainly frequent enough to have become almost a feature of the site as far as my usage is concerned .

The 524 error is back every day now.

It is a minor inconvenience. I would give a lot for it to be the biggest problem in my life.

I enjoy this site , but these frequent slow downs do send me else where . Just not enough idle time I guess . Peter

A minor inconvenience, although noted to a full updated website. It’s now a feature.
