I have this error message regularly while posting. Anyone else have this problem?

Check to see what is hogging your bandwidth.

Well my PC is all right with plenty other sites. This is only here that I have a problem.

I get it endlessly on the matrix forum, nowhere else (not even over on the Slitherine one)

Some weeks ago I was getting it a lot, then it stopped. Literally today I started getting it again.

Again, check what is using up your bandwidth. Some sites take more than others, some will wait, and others will not.
Also, check your task manager and see if there is any program that you do not recognize. If there are any that you can lower the priority on without affecting the computer's performance, then do so. Make sure that your computer is not trying to update anything. Beware of "Microsoft Content" and "Feeds" as those may be slowing your internet access. I don't use Steam but my understanding is that Steam keeps checking for updates all of the time, that may also be a problem that you do not need to have.

It's a problem with the Matrix Forums/website/servers/whatever else... Recenlty, the website has been acting up. I've also been occassionally getting this shi.e lately.

It's not your comp's fault; it's Matrix's sh...y dated infrastructure that's to blame.

I was having 504 problems with Matrix myself, it was not the matrix site.
Edited: This is what I was seeing. Even if this did not show up, the source of this was causing my problems.

That's a different problem though. Several people are having the 504 problem, including me, which would suggest that it's the Matrix site that has the issue.

Except that, whenever I had that problem, I would have those 504 gateway issues. As soon as I closed the problem on the task bar, the matrix pages would quickly open.

Well, when everything else works except for the Matrix forums website, the conclusion is kinda obvious...
edit: Also, what's interesting it's never happened to me with the Slitherine/AGEOD forums; it's only the Matrix website that acts up.

+1 - If I open a new tab and go to a different site, I get that site almost instantly. And meanwhile, Matrix forums is still waiting.
Sort of obvious to me where the problem lies.

Same here, I was trying to understand if it was my internet connection but this is only on Matrix forum.
