    For those of you having sporadic issues over the last week or so, and nothing but issues for the last 5 hours or so, we've identified the cause and it should be resolved for now. The DevOps team here at Next Glass is also continuing to investigate, we'll apply additional fixes as needed, and I'll continue to monitor Cloudflare.

    Sorry for the hassle, thanks for your patience, and beer on!

    --

    Update (Oct 30): Over the last 48 hours I've applied the following to Clouflare, which has resulted in a significant increase to the overall site performance and responsiveness.
    • Setting adjustments to reduce the prefetching of unnecessary assets
    • New security rules / challenges to help block unwanted traffic
    • Aggressive caching of assets (CSS, JS, images)
    If you've noticed that pages are basically loading on click, the above is why.

    Kippis! :beers::heavymetal:

    @Todd In that other thread it was the 'Post a photo of your pet with a beer' thread that I paged thru as an experiment, and it is loaded with pics. I just went thru that same tread without a hitch. We're all fixed now, and it seems like blazing speed. Thank you! Thank you! :clap::clap::clap:

    Thank you for the work! I was having issues this weekend like what was mentioned in the other thread. So far it has been no problem this afternoon.

    Glad to hear.

    Site was unusable earlier this afternoon (pages were all scrambled looking), but looks good now

    I got suspicious that something was amiss with the site when it believed that I'm a human.

    It's hard to fathom why they haven't. It was incredible. At the time they brewed it, they implied that amburana was unobtanium, but I've seen plenty of other amburana stouts since then. They could even mix amburana and cinnamon, and nobody would realize it.

    A mere babe in the woods. According to my first driver’s license I recently celebrated my 114th birthday. True story, apparently NJ DMV was blind. Too bad it was shit for buying beer.

    The development team must be preoccupied adding Wine, Spirits, and Soft Drinks to Untappd. Perhaps they can find some time to enhance BeerAdvocate.com for those of us who are only interested in craft beer.
