I just ran into this issue as well, two days in a row, using the paid, hosted [https://write.as](https://write.as) version of WriteFreely, so it seems to still be an unsolved bug.

Hey, so sorry for the trouble! This is a different issue on Write.as that recently started happening intermittently, and we’re investigating now.

If anyone else still encounters this, please let me know here. Otherwise will keep everyone updated.

I’m experiencing something similar.

I have an anonymous post in draft and when I try to preview it I get the status message `Generating...` but nothing happens. If I publish the post I get the errors `Failed to post. Please try again. (404)` or `Failed to post. Please try again. (0)`. Also, the page `https://write.as/me/c/USERNAME/stats` sometimes loads with no CSS.

Several hours later I was able to post with no issues.

I still have an issue I don’t know whether it’s related: signing into Snap.as with my Write.as account yields the error 502 Bad Gateway.

After investigating this more, I believe we’ve found the cause and fixed what was wrong. I’ll be monitoring from here, but please let me know if you all still see this issue again.
