Re: sudden site access failure:

Okay,
That is what you should be getting.
One more test please?
There is a text field under the option list, story for example.
just for this test type with quotation marks,
"child of Hogwarts"
That is a story title.
you will get a list of stories with comparative aspects, just choose one 
then share what happens.
Reason why I am asking is, on my dreamhost shell, I get that too, even 
using the basic lynx user agent header, comprised of the edition of lynx 
being run.
when I choose a story though I get the cloudflare  page, but it is 
supposed to redirect.
I am wondering if it will for your user agent header.
does all that make sense?
