I am not experiencing and nobody is reporting continuing to have the issues. I asked, I got very few responses. I assume this is in the category of "people only say something when there's a problem" and life is fine.

I see an increasing number of ads which could easily be mistaken as part of the message board. Now, proper google ads have a button on them where you can complain to google that the ad looks like proper content. These rogue ones don't. Is it possible to just write the word "Advert" next to the adverts (there'll be space because you'll shrink all three adverts on the page, won't you?

NBT (California):
"I've been getting the Cloudflare/handshake error, error code 525. I got it about 3 times in the last 5 minutes.
It has a little list, browser, internet and site. Each time it says haxnuts is the issue."
Me: 3 errors while trying to view the list on awesome ratings, all 525 errors.
Paloma (DC/MD/VA area):
"I was getting the cloudflare/handshake error most of the time.
I did get one, and I don't recall the code, which said something along the lines of the cite having problems/not found. It was not the cloudflare page - and I will be sure to note exactly what appears if I get it again. "
Tryp_OR (Midwest):
"I have seen both the 252 and the Cloudflare handshake errors multiple times in recent days. Unlike the problem a couple weeks ago, when I could not connect for hours at a time, these tend to resolve pretty quickly and F5 (Refresh) usually gets me back."
N.B.: Pretty sure he meant 525 not 252, and that's a typo.
