I had no idea what that is either, but like they say Google is your friend —
I searched for “Nginx 502 bad gateway error” and bunch of results returned. One of them must apply to your situation. You said tablet, but one that caught my eye was this one for example —

One common cure-all for what ails your device is to fully power off, give it a couple of minutes, then power on. I don;t know if this particular case would be related, but that’s one thing you almost always want to try (if you haven’t already)How do I fix 502 bad gateway on Iphone?
To fix this issue All you have to do is Just Restart your browser or Refresh your website page by essentially tapping on the Refresh button. Or on the other hand, to restart your browser you simply close the present browser and revive it after some time.Mar 3, 2020

OH...so that must be why I cannot come here sometimes. I though maybe forum was down for maintenance. I am having computer trouble anyway so I thought is was my computer. I reboot computer, refresh several times, took computer apart cleaned out dust so CPU is not over heating, still I can not come here sometimes. Maybe computer RAM has gone bad. I have no problem with other forums. But I still have trouble with this computer it sometimes locks up every 10 minutes, I do a forced shut down get computer running again & it does good for a while then slower and slower until it is locked up again.

Webmaster, I still seem to be having issues on trying to click on some of the posts here on the forum because of the crummy gateway. I just tried to look at the Pack Man broccoli post and the gateway blocked me. Strange, it's not doing it on every post I try to look at, but it's not completely gone for me.

No. The Gateway is only being an issue on my tablet and not my phone. I'm on my tablet right now, and the ugly gateway is blocking me from viewing the 'dry unused dirt' thread I posted yesterday evening from my tablet.
The Gateway does not block me when I view the forum from my phone. It's very annoying as I prefer to see the forum on my tablets larger screen than my little phone.

What I do is go through the Google bar on my tablet to pull up the link to the forum on my tablet. The gateway has never been an issue before. It was worse than it is now before you fixed it, but the gateway is still blocking me from viewing newly posted threads.
As for a server, I really don't know. I cannot afford any kind of endless high speed internet. I connect my tablet to the hotspot off my phone. My phone is a cheap, prepaid thing. It's all I can afford in my low budget.

I don't know how to mess with the bookmarks, what I do is click on my notifications when someone replies to a thread I'm watching, or I click on new posts in the box on the forum home. The issue is the gateway is blocking me from viewing newly posted threads. I can see old ones, but like my 'dry unused dirt' thread that I recently posted from my tablet, the gateway blocks me from viewing the responses.

It's not a gateway or gate that's blocking you. It's very likely your browser is loading a cached copy of that 502 error code.
If it's just happening in your tablet, then it's something to do with your tablet browser.
You mentioned you go through your "Google bar" which I take to mean it's a bookmark. If that's what it is, delete that bookmark (right click it, choose delete). Then navigate to our site and bookmark it again.
Copy this URL and paste it into your browser address bar
If that doesn't work click the three dots in the top right hand corner (if you're on Chrome) and go to settings and delete your cache.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, so here's the route I take to open the forum. My pictures should be in order from when I tap on my Google bar, tap on the 'forum' button on my browsing history, tap on the link to the forum, tap on the gardening forum on the Helpful Gardener menu and voila, the forum. And I tried to open Gary's cabbage thread, but because it was new, the gateway blocked me.

Trying to log in this morning on my laptop I got a "Bad Gateway" message for the first time.
I went into my cookies file and found 40 or 50 new ones. Deleted the ones I didn't want or recognize. I was then able to log in normally.
I usually have cookies turned off. If a page won't run without them I enable them and reload the page. When I'm done with it (usually, if I don't forget!) I delete any new/unwanted cookies and once again disable cookie acceptance.

502 Gateway issue is not usually a problem for me but many times yesterday I could not come here. Then after I was here the forum loaded so slow I left for 5 minutes when I returned it was still trying to load. I closed the garden forum then went several other places they all work good. Things seem to be working good today.

I had trouble getting in here even on my PC - I felt like I was on that dial-up thing I had in the early days! I just went on something else, while this took 3 or 4 minutes, then went back. And it took even longer to make a post - I was surprised that it worked, when I went back. Now, on my tablet I got on immediately - first time that happened in a few days.
