DU problem

Often, when I click on a new message or page on DU, it freezes. Then eventually I get this message:

Web server is returning an unknown error Error code 520
Visit cloudflare.com for more information.

This happens on no other sites that I frequent.

What to do?

the 5xx errors are a server-side errors that we cannot do anything about.
Good to see that EarlG is working with the CloudFlare folks to get it resolved.
