Still occurring? I'm noticing that 99% of these always seem to occur after hours or on weekends. I'll ask about any differences those would have, but might be normal maintenance cycles.

FT unusable for me today.
Just one random DB or Cloudflare error after another.
Seems to coincide with the implementation of the new header design, which, IMO sucks. It's hard to find things and it takes up nearly a third of the page on desktop.
Also, when a page does finally load, the fonts and sizes are all wrong, random lines of text are in red, and the new larger header space is filled with just a dozen or so lines of code or a different database error.

Our tech team is currently working on the DB errors and font issues. Please report other problems here: New Navigation Menu errors
What are you talking about? It doesn't take up anywhere near that amount of space. EDIT: I just checked. My screenshot was 755px tall, the menu is 85px, of about 11.25% of the height.

I also personally don't like the new design, but those are two separate issues.

Multiple database errors (both preventing the loading of the page and specifically impacting the new banner).
Problem with the banner is that it scales up on zoom. FT fonts are small so I have to Zoom to 110 - 125% and the banner scales up with the zoom making it take up a fair amount of the page. Need either bigger font size at 100% or for the banner not to scale up when you zoom the page

Ah understood. We rolled it back off of the forums, but if you go to the main/front page, is it still stuck "down" for you?

And I do understand that several people have probably been working hard on the redesign, and I am not trying to crap on their efforts. And more people may like the new design than don't, it just strikes me as a solution in search of a problem.

Like others I got multiple DB errors for about an hour and basically couldn't use the site. What I saw of the redesign I thought looked pretty nice but didn't really have a chance to navigate around due to the problems.
