I'm getting the gateway error too. Whenever I see that message on Conundrumland or Mahalo, I know they're working diligently to fix, repair or add features. At least that's what I tell myself!
I've been having issues editing answers and comments on there. Keeps telling me the answers/comments don't exist. No problems logging in though, since I keep it logged in all the time on my computer.
Edit: Never mind, just tried to go to ConundrumLand and got the 502 error.
I have been able to get in, but at one point it asked for my "zipcode" and it only accepts U.S. zipcodes. So I entered the only U.S. zipcode I know in order to get in - which was, of course, 90210. Hehe Obviously whatever is causing this might y be a problem for other international users.
Sorry that I can't help with your particular problem... although perhaps they are related.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
