Default Weirdness

I got sick of all the 503's and a support ticket with the hosting company didn't help, so I disabled Cloudflare. Things seem a lot more speedy to me now, except that I can't stay logged in with Chrome so I'm typing this from Firefox.

Funny that... FF is now broke on iPad Safari, I’m using chrome to type this.

Something about an expired certificate.

Thank you vm for keeping :fflove: alive. It is so precious.

It's almost my only social media right now.

Hopefully just need time for the change to propagate across the DNS servers.

Those were real words, right?

I haven't been able to access :ff: via my wired broadband all day. No other sites are affected (though I wouldn't be surprised if it's a cloudflare issue) - and it turns out to be fine using my mobile data. So here I am. :glarecat:
is due to vm's change and ES's very knowledgeable diagnosis of DNS propagation delays and not actually cloudflare's fault.

I bet it's still connected to Brexit though. Some DNS server agreements have lapsed and no one in government had any idea that might be a thing.

I've had to log in separately for freethought-forum.com and www.freethought-forum.com which is just dumb but could be temporary.

Although free certificates are now a thing, with Let's Encrypt.

I can access :ff: from my work laptop but not my personal laptop or my phone. Presumably the work laptop has some kind of VPN thing going on that routes the traffic differently.

I purchased* and installed an SSL cert so that should be sorted for sure.

I also made a change to the 'showthread' template that should fix the weirdness I was seeing, which was when I clicked on "New posts" at the bottom of a thread it logged me out.

Let me know if y'all still see anything weird.


*I don't have direct server access and our provider doesn't support LE :(

So someone finally sent plasma from the buzzard collectors into the Heisenberg compensators in order to generate sufficient tachyon emissions to disperse neutrino buildup around the warp core, thereby establishing a static warp bubble!

Took you long enough!

Despite vm reversing the polarity ... there are still dreaded duplicate posts, and now, 503 errors.

I noticed too for awhile, but seems better now. Intermittent issues suck because support is always like "I don't see anything wrong".
