redirection error

[HantsUK]

Is anyone else now getting redirection errors when trying to access the CF home page or the forum list ( /forums/ ).

This seems to be the same issue from early March, and which only affected people in the UK and some European countries.

Is this a conspiracy to prevent access to CF from the UK and Europe?

I have raised a ticket, but if anyone else has similar problems, then please also raise a ticket (stating your country), so that the CF technical folk have an idea of the extent of the problem.

Technical:
The home page is returning 302 redirect to its self (so, after going around in a circle several times, your browser notices and displays an error message).
The /forums/ page redirects to the home page, then goes around in circles until your browser gets fed up.

Yep.
I have to search my history to get in. And even then, I can only access certain pages.

It's been nearly a fortnight since I reported the issue, but so far have had no reply.

As far as I can tell, this is a configuration issue is with Cloudflare.

Too many redirects happen if:

Trying to access home page (https: //www .christianforums .com) or a first level page (e.g. https: //www .christianforums .com/forums/ )​

and

Using a desktop browser (but not a tablet or smartphone). Affects MacOS and Windows; Firefox, Chrome & Safari​

and

From UK or (previously) other European countries​

​

To test, you need to be in the UK or other European countres. Or use a VPN. But Cloudflare will sometimes block VPN's. I suspect that all the technical support is US based, so will not experience the problem unless they use a VPN or buy some plane tickets.

I realise this is the wrong sub-forum, but don't know of a more suitable one. If the Mods want to move it to somewhere better, please do.
