The new human verification step that can be invoked on the forum can heavily impact loading times, or not load the page at all, resulting in a 502 error.
This post is not suggesting removing the step because I understand why you need it, but please improve loading times or provide user feedback to whats happening instead of a blank white page.

Similar errors are happening to me as well. It is heavily impacting me (and I’m sure many others) right now:

Thanks for the report, this is related to a previous topic around how we protect ourselves from traffic spikes.
As the title says, about every five minutes, the page stops responding to the network and requests to the server are blocked. When refreshing the page, the title turns to “Human Verification,” and then the server is accessible again by the page. This bug is quite annoying as drafts are taken offline and you need to refresh the page to continue work on the DevForum.
I’ve started experiencing this issue as of 4/23/2023.
