Strange screen on trying to get on the website just now!
Chrome for Android. Can add other details if you need them.

Hi all. Apologies for the delayed response.
We have no reason to believe that this is a DDoS attack. There is a temporary issue with one of our servers which means it is getting backed up with requests at around the same time each evening.
To mitigate the problem, we switch on the CloudFlare message which provides a short "wait" until the site is loaded. This allows the server to become unblocked and resume normal functioning. It references DDoS attacks because that is the primary use case for the feature, but - in this instance - we don't believe that to be the underlying cause.
There is nothing to worry about so I hope that helps to reassure you!

@Hoardasurass we are looking at issues with site speed at the moment. What issues are you having with bookmarking?
@butterflymum that's odd that you didn't get the notification - I will flag that to the development team to see if there's a wider problem
