Thank you for the teaching. I did what one of the comments said to refresh and it worked! Thank you

All I did was refreshed my page during the 504 error display and the 504 error code went away. So I would say the 1st step should be refresh page.

This helped, but the webmaster is acting as though his side is working..my side should be doing the same...504 gateway time out...I did everything and even used a different location for log in..and the log in page wont let me in. I explained it 3 times in e-mails to the webmaster...he still says...he's got 100, 000 people under him...and I'm the only one with the issue(subversively saying)....operator error! If I hadn't gone to school for MCSE..I really would be lost! But the way I have been treated has been sub human and super sub par. I'm already looking for another free stream site... this has been the worst that they have ever treated me for trying to keep them informed of problems in their topology. And now that I have to wait...I will...but its NCAA Football season...so I'm good for a while...light hearted joke there
