It is a server issue on our end. Some naughty sites were crashing the servers endlessly and they have be isolated. We are also drawing up plans on ordering an additional server.
It depends on when the timeout occurs. I've noticed that it's six of one, half a dozen of the other for me.
You see... posting is, at base, a two-part execution. 1) (client) Send info -> (server) receive info -> (s->c) acknowledge receipt -> (s) write info ---- (after success) 2) (server) Send write acknowledgement + new page -> (c) receive new page
At any point in that scheme after "receive info", if the server times out, the post will have been made, however, if it happens before that, no go on the post....o.
Hope that helps!

I've gotten 504s, but not a 502. Tends to linger for a short amount of time, like 10 mins or such, but then resolves. Always happens when I try to get to the home page. I haven't received one lately, though. Last time it happened to me was about 2 weeks ago and thought nothing of it. Now that I've read this thread, I'll be more mindful of them and report what I find.
