For at least the last 10 minutes the main site only renders a white page with a black zero.

Noticed that it worked on my other unit. Cleared my cookies and then it worked again.

The site has been fully down for me all week, on all my devices, even after clearing cache and cookies. The iOS app isn't able to connect either.

Same issue here, can access the website only occasionally, and I've seen people on Twitter complain of this as well. Can the mods give some feedback on this, and explain why this is happening, please?

It "works" for me, but is very slow. It seems they're now using Cloudflare's DDoS prevention, which I never got a notice about until today. Could the site be under a DDoS attack?

Same. Can't get to any page without waiting like 30 seconds for Cloudflare bot check.

Same here. The website is much slower and less responsive than a few days ago before this Cloudflare check started.

It's operating normally today (Aug 19) and the Cloudflare thing appears to be gone.

Not sure if everyone else is having the same problem, but there have been a lot of cloudflare errors over the past couple of weeks. Just now the site was unusable from my desktop and cell phone for about 45 minutes.

Posting to alert moderators, not as a dramatic complaint.

Yes, it's a general issue. The webmasters are aware and trying their best to solve it.
