Topic: 502 errors when trying to add work

I just tried to add a new work and every attempt I made (including re-entering the "Add Work" screen from another page) has led to an HTTP 502 bad gateway error. Is this a server-end problem or is it on my end? My laptop (a 2009 MacBook) has a propensity for hanging on pages for no reason.

Most likely a server problem. Could be temporary due to load, or a more permanent problem due to a bug. Does it take some time doing nothing before failing?

Yeah, it does the characteristic lag thing where the little wheel that indicates loading progress (I have Chrome) slows down for about 10 seconds and I'm redirected to an error page. I get this response on random websites at random times and normally it gives me the Website Suggestions page from my ISP (Time Warner) or an "Oops! We couldn't load X" error message with an offer to connect to the same site (useless). I've had this problem since about 3 weeks after I got this laptop and I can never tell if it's siteside or on my end (often times I'll cross-reference with Is It Down Right Now?, but even that doesn't work sometimes).

UPDATE: It works again. Must've been from server overload or something.

I was getting some 502s last night too. Probably server overload, yeah.
