Going forward, you may see the occasional error page on DU -- but don't worry [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the Announcements group).

As part of our effort to track down the bug which was causing Star Members to see ads last week (which we believe we have now fixed!) we made some configuration changes to DU behind the scenes.

We have now changed our configuration back to the way it was. It is our expectation that from your perspective, nothing will happen -- however, there is a possibility that you may see some occasional error pages, specifically "520" errors or other errors referencing Cloudflare.

Please do not be alarmed -- if you do see such an error, a simple page reload should make it go away, and we expect that over time most of these errors will clear up.

We will be monitoring the situation, so there is no need to report these errors to an Admin UNLESS they are persistent and are interfering with your ability to browse DU -- in which case, please let us know.

Thanks for reading!
