Formatting issue seems to be getting worse

[mn9driver]

Using mobile browsers, I’ve been switching back and forth between Safari and Chrome, and within those browsers I’ve been switching views between standard and mobile in the Account pages.

Usually one of those things will work, but starting last night and continuing today, the formatting will fail on all of these options at once, and stay failed for some time—up to 30 minutes or so. When it does come back, it sometimes only works for a few minutes before it fails again.

I hope EarlG can track this glitch down.

1. (knock on wood) but I have had no issues with formatting--just tons of Cloudflare 520 erros.

I use the mobile setting on safari on iPhone and Ipad and standard setting on firefox or MS Edge on a Win10 laptop.

I don't say this for any reason except to hopefully help Elad and EarlG to rule out some of the possible causes. As previously mentioned, the Cloudflare errors have increased during the time others have been experiencing formatting problems. Mostly Cloudflare 520 errors, but occasionally 502 and 503 with periods of time where nothing will load at all or load very slowly.

But I do find it interesting that not all are experiencing the same issues, even when using similar devices and browsers.

2. People getting CF 520's are possibly in the same general area, western USA for example

I was getting them as recently as yesterday AM but it's been smooth the past 24 hours (knocking on wood).

Formatting is a different matter and is likely tied to platform (pc vs apple vs android) and the particular browser used.

I've had NO formatting issues but I use DU exclusively on PC (W10) and Chrome.

The average consumer has no idea how much time and effort goes into making sure websites work properly on the various platforms and browsers (this is called 'cross-compatible' in the industry jargon), and at varying window heights and widths (this is called 'responsive'). It's not easy work, trust me.

4. In my household, Chrome on Windows 10 PC has not had a format isssue as well

I've also not had formatting issues on an Android phone with Chrome.

My PC (WIN 10) and Firefox has been having this issue for several updates of Firefox. I can always resolve this with a full page reload (shift + reset). It may take two tries. I can also cause the format issue by repeated full reloads.

I've had a few Cloud errors using DU advanced search but no other times.

I'm in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

3. Me too

Formatting is gone on my laptop, using Edge. It's fine on my phone.
