"Member Positions" is something built into the forum software which I've disabled for the most part but I'd forgotten to remove it from being displayed on the member list. It allows you to gain new ranks based on number of posts, or the amount of points earned by others liking/disliking your posts. You're in the shit pit because you've opted in to view KCs special hidden board

Updates complete. As usual let me know of any oddities.

The site will be down for updates later today.

DNS changes can sometimes take 72 hours to propagate. Your screenshot shows it's still trying to connect through cloudflare which it shouldn't be anymore. It's been 3 days now so hopefully everybody's DNS has updated. Still let me know if there's any errors.

As of my previous post on 31st Dec the site is no longer using cloudflare and is now using a certificate issued by "Let's Encrypt". If anyone is seeing a cloudflare error can you post a screenshot or other details? It would suggest there's some caching issue.

I'm not experiencing the previously mentioned duckduckgo browser warning anymore either. If anyone is still getting it can you see if you can get details of the certificate it's using? If it's erroring on the new certificate then there's more work to be done.

I was getting a cloudflare error which was preventing me from connecting. Not sure if it was impacting others or for how long. It should be fixed now. Apologies for any downtime.

It's improving but there's still issues

Yes, one of the downsides of running behind Cloudflare to defend against the bots

I can reproduce this on my end but I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm unaware of any issues with the certificate and the DDG browser gives no details on why it thinks the certificate is invalid. I've opened a support ticket with DDG to get more info.

You generally wouldn't want to, but in this case you'll be fine clicking "Accept Risk and Visit Site" since the site does have a valid SSL certificate (ssllabs link below), otherwise you'll need to wait for DDG to respond to me.

Is anyone else seeing similar issues with their setup?

Just for you

 

Looks like a certain person might have gotten wind of this thread and shut 'er down...

If you search for it on Wayback Machine now you get this message:

There's no foul play here. The Internet Archive will take snapshots of pages multiple times on multiple dates ("665 Captures" in your image). At the top of your image you'll see you're looking at an archive of the site from 10th July 2025. If you look at the actual site now you'll see it displays the same "no longer available" message. You'll need to use the bar at the top to view an archived date before MI shut down (Nov 2018)

Whoops the permissions for Shit Pit members was accidentally set to disallow spoiler viewing. It would have impacted everyone and has most likely been like that the entire time. Apologies for that! It's been fixed so please try again now.

You should be able to just click the spoiler and it'll expand. What's happening when you click it? What browser/device are you using?

That's a lot of help. Thanks for that! List is updated
