Need help. Since the weekend change, I can't read posts. I click on a post and it goes to a "Gateway 504 " error screen. Can't even get to Ihub site most of the time. I try to go to my favorites,mailbox,etc. and I end up back at the Gateway error screen. Sometimes things work for a minute or so but it is as slow as a snail. I use AOL dial-up. I tried to PM Meatloaf but it didn't go through. Anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

AOL caches DNS too aggressively. Since you're an AOL user you're bounced around between any of their available proxies. Some of proxies apparently have the new DNS entry for Investorshub.com (which would be the times you get in) and some don't (which would be the times you get an error).
Until AOL finally catches up, about the best you can do is add this entry to your hosts file:
206.55.113.196 www.investorshub.com
That will override DNS.
For Windows XP, the hosts file is located at:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
