On top of that I am getting asian symbols for the menu items and on the threads themselves on the mobile app. Is this also a product of this issue. Didn't have this issue yesterday. Don't read asian so cant make out what it says, although I know what this links are anyways.

if you have javascript turned off, then the site wont load at all. The cloudflare forwarding only continues on to the site if you have javascript turned on. [no one in the right mind had javascript turned on, well that and people who aren't known to be sharpest tool in the shead]

Javascript is not Oracle Java that has soo many issues. Now Cross Scripting is an issue any modern browsers have this disabled.

Javscript is enabled by default on major browsers and it is often required for many sites to function and appear correctly. Making modifications to disable or limit javascript means the user must accept the fact that the site may not work or display correctly and as designed/intended. You disable javascript and you will break some basic and common features that are native to the vbulletin software (such as the native drop-down menus to name just one). This absolutely doesn't solely apply to Cloudflare or CorvetteForum.
And I believe Cloudflare also provides a warning that javascript is disabled and needs enabled in order to continue.

Like I explained a few posts, the message is considered "normal", at this time, because Cloudflare is adding a layer of protection to minimize service disruption due to any DDOS occurring.
Clearing cookies, temporary internet files, etc., is not going to change that behavior.
Can you provide some specific examples?

Bling? Bing?
Post the URL that is shown as being bad.
If there's an issue between AOL and Cloudflare, add that to the list of issues for AOL. AOL's pretty well known for issues like this.

Cloudflare is pretty big and has many clients. Additionally, the message only appears when in a specific configuration to fight against a current attack. As said above, the message is coming from Cloudflare who is actively protecting CorvetteForum against an ongoing DDoS issue.
I'd think people would rather put up with some short-term inconvenience while still being able to access CorvetteForum, rather than not access CorvetteForum at all while the site is actively under attack to purposely keep members away.
To rally against CorvetteForum, who is the victim in an online Internet attack against the infrastructure, is kinda misplaced.
