  What are the start and end dates on the security pop up? Just need month/day (eg Dec 22)

  This is totally fair criticism. I'll bring it up with the other admins to see what can be done. For the chat example though, you should flag those chat messages.

  It seems for some reason an https version of the landing redirect is being requested, I added a fallback that re-redirects it back to the BDNS homepage. This should fix the problem, but doesn't explain why it started happening. The security issue warning you got was right away after connecting to DNS?

  That's weird, it's an internal page that serves no purpose but you shouldn't end up there... Is this on the 46.101.65.164 DNS? Or any of them?

  It sounds like you're describing https://dragonite.fortheusers.org ? (Which is a dragonite). Where do you see this?

  Post Queue Fixes
  VGMoose

  BrowseDNS

  It turns out that the post queue was not being properly applied to some categories. This meant that all someone had to do to circumvent it was choose a different category. This has been fixed now and should help reduce the number of spammers.

  We're also still working on the bot problem, the plan is to add a captcha-like check that doesn't impact DNS users. Right now, almost half of the traffic to this site is from bots and crawlers. If you see any bot users, please continue to flag them.

  Has anyone else's Switch web browser thingy been VERY laggy recently?

  Switchbru

  Are there any pages in particular that seem slower than other ones? And does changing to one of the other DNS addresses help at all? Typically my benchmark for a "good website" on the Switch browser is opening Wikipedia and clicking around to various articles.
