@RussF: I can see your post (like the rest of the staff, I suppose), but can't approve it at this moment.
I was able to.
Cool, thank you, SKAN! I just noticed that someone was able to approve posts and topics, I just couldn't see who.
Unfortunately, I can only post right now.

@gregster I am/was able to approve posts as well. JFYI :)
But I've tried to delete a reported duplicated topic:
https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=94063
... within the German forum section but failed with the following error message:

AJAX error
Something went wrong when processing your request.

Same for the same users second duplicated posting:
https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=94062
Closing the related report went fine (well, the reported topic's autorefresh responded with error 500 afterwards), while the following deletion event failed as well showing the previously mentioned error message.

Locking both postings went fine.

I'm still seeing cloudflare connectivity issues. By the way, it's interesting that usually when I see websites that have connectivity problems, they are the ones behind cloudflare.

Supposedly, cloudflare has Always Online (https://www.cloudflare.com/always-online/), for when the website goes down. A cached version of the website is to be served. Maybe there is some way to switch over, thus allowing the problem to be fixed, while giving availability as oppose to error messages.

@swagfag Okay, I've tried 1 of the 2 options you pointed out, and yes the response is slow then gives me 524 or 522 error. I have a feeling the background task for this is some overloading the server.
Please avoid these for now, I will let tank know about this.

The "Accept this answer" (green check mark) buttons are currently broken.
I get redirected to the Board index page if I click them, and nothing gets selected.
(This problem was also mentioned by another user.)
