    Got a new Cloudflare error today, and I'm unable to post a new thread.
    What does Cloudflare Error 520 mean?

    Every now and then CF gives errors, goes slow etc. Most probably cos they get DDoSS'd or w/e and need their DNS to cycle to another of their endpoints etc.

    And sometimes the server hickups of the forums, also possible. Cloudflare is pretty public on their issues, so you can go to cloudflare and find maintenance / issues etc listed somewhere on their site, and the server with the forums... yeah, it sometimes stops working.

    I'm only getting the error as I'm trying to submit my staff application, the rest of the site it works normally. It just gives an error when I press Create Thread.

    There is probably something in the title/body it doesn't like, and unfortunately it's really difficult to figure out what that is.

    the text you have, copy it into Notepad, and cut and copy it from notepad again back to the forums. Some special fonts is not accepted by Xenforo.
