When I hit certain links such as new notifications or MSE Forum home - all I'm getting is the spinning wheel for seconds and seconds on end.... Am I the only one?

    Problems between Cloudflare and Vanilla are not doing MSE any f(l)avours.

    What happened?

    The initial connection between Cloudflare's network and Vanilla timed out. As a result, the web page can not be displayed.

    What can I do to resolve this?

    Please try again in a few minutes. If the problem persists, you can contact the site owner to let them know you were unable to reach the website.

    This has happened several times lately and a few minutes should read quite a few minutes, about 10 this time.

    Not getting any error messages but seems very, very, (did I say very?) slow at times over the last few days.

    No, I’ve timed out a couple of times tonight as well. Some sort of glitch the site, or they are updating something.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Thanks - I kept checking my internet speeds in case it was something at my end - glad I'm not the only one.

    Now I'm getting this - I think this happened a little while ago.
