Oh dear. It's been about 24 hours and we are finally in. Lots of chatter via text and phone to straighten it out. Still not quite there.

If you hadn't noticed, there are currently over 1400 on-line here. We weren't even able to access the emails and we are still waiting on those.

Suggest if you are in the middle of the project, PM folks you are dealing with and ask for a secondary comm source.

Paul is working on the issue. We did some checking with Grok -- we have it on our speed-dial so to speak. grin

I wasn’t able to get on all weekend long. I didn’t know if storms knocked out your electricity as it did mine. I’m glad to at least be able to get on line and see your back up and running. yahoo

Am sure others are still seeing slow down effects like me. Pages sometimes are slow loading or timeout, with Cloudflare reporting it's a "server" issue (error report code 522), but usually get past it by just refreshing the page through my browser and trying to be patient.

Still a few sporadically weird times when Attachment Manager picture thumbnails don't properly display. I get some that display while others show the picture link, but if refreshed may change to all thumbnails or change which thumbnails display.

Note - If you are posting and/or attaching pictures, let the post or attachment process complete before changing the page or hitting the "POST" button. If you do it too soon, sometimes the post or attachment process fails and you may have to do it again.

Saturday 6/27/26 starting at 08:20 CST.

Very slow response times switching pages. Mostly timeouts between Cloudflare and the Stovebolt server. 6500+ "guests" which is what I thought Cloudflare was supposed to prevent.

If this post works it will be after 10+ tries, each resulting in a 522 Cloudflare timeout error.

Strictly a guess but maybe someone you've had a tiff with in the past trying to exact some retribution???? It could also just be some 14 year old in his parent's basement who gets his jollies by messing with random sites and you were just "lucky".

Yeah, lucky. That's it. I'll post some graphics so you can see what's going on. As you can see in the Mitigated graphic, 68% of the traffic to our site is being blocked by Cloudflare. That's the cruft of the internet that slows things down like a clogged drain. Using Cloodflare, we never even see that stuff, so you get to have a decent experience when coming to our site.

I like the terminology. "Unique" visitors as compared to what? Maybe "Common" visitors. grin
