I thought CloudFlare was supposed to prevent that sort of thing. Otherwise, what is it good for?

Well not sure but if you look at that error page it appears that its showing the plan (I guess its the Free Plan) is over limit.

From Cloudflare::

Accounts using the Workers Free plan are subject to a daily request limit of 100,000 requests. Free plan daily requests counts reset at midnight UTC. A Worker that fails as a result of daily request limit errors can be configured by toggling its corresponding route in two modes: 1) Fail open and 2) Fail closed.

Guess its "Fail Closed"

Fail closed​


Routes in fail closed mode will display a Cloudflare 1027 error page to visitors, signifying the Worker has been temporarily disabled. Cloudflare recommends this option if your Worker is performing security related tasks.

This type of thing is not free and can get pricey (First Plan Is OK But Costs Can Grow As Connections Grow) to raise that limit. But to be fully honest I am not sure what AK is doing but this is just an educated guess.

So with all the problems I have with this outdated IPad I can still navigate AK and see what everyone is posting. Up until yesterday with JavaScript on I could see any YouTube vids other's were posting, sometime overnight all I get is a blank screen of the video that someone has posted. If I click on the blank YouTube screen it will still play and I can still watch.
Just a new change to my already crappy situation.
The fact that others are also having issues with much newer devices is the reason I'm not running out to get something new.

Well, it’s not a singular problem. The grey ad bar was an advalley issue fixed within a day by them last week. Not sure about the flipped pictures issue as that seemed limited to Android users. The cloudflare issue was a very brief issue yesterday, disappeared within a half hour or less. It might be worth your while to drop a hundred bucks or so to OtherWorldComputer and get a newer refurbed iPad that is updated. I got a refurbed used MacBook Pro from them when our 13 yo church computer died in October. I get no financial connection there, but I’ve had good luck with them for 10+ years. Your 13 yo iPad is due a replacement.

When you see people commenting that leading (or bleeding) edge technology, is out of date and on the way to obsolescence in 6 months to a year, you'll begin to understand that 13 years old is just too old. My current desktop PC is about 5 years old, but I know its days are numbered because the SATA SSD devices it uses are getting very scarce, and the next time it fails it may be goodbye PC. It was bought with particular care to ensure it was more likely to be Windows 11 compatible (which it is). But other elements of the technology as written above are on borrowed time.

I recently gave away a 14 year old laser printer because of its limited serviceable connectivity options (10/100mbps Ethernet, parallel port, serial port, Appletalk), and crucially no drivers written for Windows 10/11. (the latest Windows XP driver was useless). It's new owner is using it with Linux.

That's why I'm not impressed with this " New Technology". I have a new Shartphone, the salesperson was telling me all the crap it can do, I said all I need it to do is make an emergency call or receive an emergency call, nothing else. I have audio from the 60's that work perfectly, very little upkeep to keep it going. If I have to constantly jump through hoops to use something, then I lose interest very quickly.
 
Sure - I have a 45 year old car that is still a boatload of fun. I do have to replace parts now and then on it as they wear out. Tires, wipers, heck even gas and oil!
I have a Denon Turntable I bought new in the 80s, needs a new stylus or cart every so often. I have an old tube amp that work fine, tho they need new tubes now and then.

STUFF WEARS OUT - that's the way of the world.
Digital electronics is a bit different - it doesn't physically wear down, like a car, but it does age away, regardless. It has a lifetime.
Your $250 computer (iPad) has served you quite well for 13 years. It cost you nothing over that time.
That's not constantly jumping through hoops.

Its paid its way.
It's hardly cutting edge anything, like a windows machine, there have been no more software updates for quite a while now - its well past time to replace it.
If not with a new model, then get a certified used model for a bit less, but - its certainly time to replace it..
 
$1200 iPad back then.
Like I said, digital technology is moving so fast, people that enjoy playing with it, have at it. I'll take a pass at this time.
P.S.
Not wanting to derail this thread I will add, my wife bought me this iPad for a Christmas gift, if she had not I would have never had known about AK. That alone was worth the money, the information I received and still to this day I seek and receive was worth the money. The friends I have made here and in person is priceless. If I could never use AK again, I would still be a Subscriber just to try to do my part to keep this site going.

I had a couple Alerts just now. When I clicked on the bell icon I received:

Oops! We ran into some problems.
Security error occurred. Please press back, refresh the page, and try again.
 
I dunno anything about a $1200 ipad. The only ones I see priced like that are the newer ones with the Apple silicon chips.
The first one I gave Emma back in 2012 was a refurbished iPad 2 for $399 with $99 more for Applecare extended Warranty ...
That one can no longer be updated since its too old.
 
For those having the "403 forbidden" access issues with duckduckgo on Android, please try again. Advally has worked with the server company to implement a fix and you should be good now.

It was probably the total package with all the extras she got to go along with it brand new from the Apple Store, but it certainly wasn't $250. 00 dollars as you allude to.
 
Can't submit a post from my Linux 22 PC with the Firefox browser. I keep getting the "Oops! We ran into some problems" pop up. It tells me to check the browser console but I don't understand what, if anything, that is saying the problem is. Any suggestions?
 
Another thing I noticed that if you go "view this thread" from gmail, if your not logged it, a bunch of ads and such pop up. But I think this is normal.
 
Is there an MOD trimming this thread? There were individual responses to my ongoing 403 issues that are no longer in the thread (recently). Would be great to stay relevant so Admin doing the fixing doesn't lose track of folks still experiencing errors.
 
When I'm making a post I'm not allowed to use smilies. The whole bar up there is "dimmed" instead of showing in bold and won't let me select anything from there. Also at the top of the forum it won't let me go all the way back to the "Home" tab. Feeling a little like an unwanted child :confused: (Smilie borrowed from Political Chat )
