Per several guides, I just disabled all the https stuff on Cloudflare which fixed the CCS and images not loading on my box.

That may have broken any https links users have used (presumably since Cloudflare was turned on). I emailed U2Lynne for advice. Any https TTD links can probably be fixed with a SQL query by me or U2Lynne. You can also fix your own posts manually (don't bother with an edit reason). Fix one thing, break another...

PS. fix your TTD bookmark by changing the https to http; the site does not use SSL as we have nothing to hide

I searched the database for:
https://www.thetradersden.org
https://thetradersden.org

and found about 40 occurrences of https://www.thetradersden.org
and I changed them all to http://www.thetradersden.org
so that fixes the links.

There should be no more link errors in the future. I think that some browsers were sometimes being issued a SSL cert by Cloudflare causing the issue by allowing the browser to load a https version of the page. And when people copy/pasted a page link from their address bar to a post, that's how they got there.

One day we may have https, but not today.

Chrome had not wanted to load TTD for me for the past few days after doing this. I kept getting hit with an "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" message in it. Just loaded it up in Safari, which I never use, and it's fine. So before I did that step, I'd cleared my cache, and deleted just my TTD cookies. Still got the error message. So, I just deleted all TTD history. Works fine now.
