    Today was the second or third time in a month that I experienced seeing a Cloudfare screen declaring my browser ok, Cloudfare ok, and the PriusChat server down - for an extended period of time.

    Is this only me, or did others see this as well?

    It is certainly not the first time I experienced it.
    I usually guess it is tied to some form of maintenance and tried it the next day.

    It is not just the Gen 5 forums.......it is the entire site.

    In the past when that happened over several days, the "maintenance" was
    completed with some features broken or missing.

    Pretty normal for any server and forum. Things need maintenance and sometimes things go out.

    Sorry, but scheduled maintenance usually can be performed on some of the servers during less than peak load hours, leaving at least one server with a forum sticky to explain "slow service".

    Being out for unannounced multiple times of multiple hours is not "pretty normal for any server and forum".

    My concern was to know if it was just me or not - apparently not so it is what it is. A free to me forum that may or may not be available when I want to commune with "Prius Folk".

    Yeah that's what I was going to say. Folks need to move out of one single topic .... there's a brave & wonderful world out there beyond a single solitaire thread!
