I am having problems with not getting alerts in my emails. No matter what I do, I am not getting them.

Probably a silly question but I have to ask, have you checked your spam folder(s)?
 
Every day at approx 8:00 am AEST I get this slowdown and the get the error message from Cloudflare.

It would be nice not to have put up with this every day.

Let me guess, 8 am AEST is 11PM in the UK?

I haven't got the cloudflare thing but the forum does slow down for me for 15 to 30 minutes.

It's 11:00pm with daylight saving in the UK, I work on normal time as we do not have daylight saving here in Queensland.

To get the web site to download you go through cloudflare which this forum uses.

I had similar Cloudflare issue the other day. Was specific to the Forum DNS which came back as not found. Later on could access the forum ,but had the global error message that the server was unavailable. This latter message is the standard error that displays when trying to access a locked thread and is a DCUK message. Obviously on that occasion the site server was offline then online but all threads were locked. Later on it all cleared and has been ok since as far as I can tell.

That happened to me to the other day (unlike the usual 11pm UK time slowdown, it wasn't anywhere near 11pm), but it cleared up again in minutes so I forgot all about it.
 
Alls well here in my part of the UK running fast and clean.
 
The forum was offline again just now. OK now. Other sites seemed ok and accessible, but not the Forum.

You mean like this?
Simply select the text you want to reply to and a little pop up 'reply' button will appear. Click it and the quoted text appears in the reply box. Then just write your own post below it. :)

Here you go!
The videos are a bit older so things may not look exactly the same, but things still function like explained in the videos:

They're working on it, see this thread! :)

What’s happened to the forum?

Has the forum colours and layout changed totally with the upgrade? or is there somewhere I put it back to how it looked before? I’m really struggling to navigate and read it. It’s so pale and it’s just all merging in to one for me. I’ve tried the button on the bottom and tried the red and the...
