Anyone else seeing the grey bar at the top of the MOUL site and forums?

Had one. But not anymore after clicking it away.

Edit: I only get that bar when I let some cookies through.

Ok so it wasn't just me, that's good.

Oh, I thought it was cause I once used a service that shows if they have been changes to a site.

Yes, I have it too. I noticed there's a grey X at the right (not very well visible) to click it away.

Hmm if I see it again, I will examine the page source code and see what is causing it. I will also check it for a hidden message. Do any of the other IT guys have an idea what this is about?

Every time you people click that "X" in the gray bar, it causes the elevator at Cyan HQ to go up and down, stopping at every floor. Cut it out.

I saw it in Firefox, but not in IE or Chrome on Android. It's something to do with Cloudflare and looks like it's supposed to be for a general site message or something but the data is unpopulated. I think it's supposed to be hidden if there's no message but it seems that in some browsers that "hide" attribute isn't taking effect.

I've never seen it in Firefox

See it on Safari/OSX too, seems indeed to be meant to display welcome messages, nothing harmful:

Code:

<cfapps-welcome-bar class="cfapps-welcome-bar" with-hidden-link>
   <div class="cfapps-welcome-bar-close-button">
   </div>
   <div class="cfapps-welcome-bar-content">
      <div class="cfapps-welcome-bar-text">
      </div>
      <div class="cfapps-welcome-bar-content-inner">
         <a target="_blank" class="cfapps-welcome-bar-link" href="undefined">
            <button class="cfapps-welcome-bar-button"></button>
         </a>
      </div>
   </div>
</cfapps-welcome-bar>

I took another look. Slightly different this time, but yep, it looks innocent enough. All aboard!

So cloudflare is incompetent. That is unfortunate, considering how large of a share of the internet they currently effectively control. Of course, I can't help but wonder when they will start to inject malicious content, such as ads.

I don't think they will inject malicious content just because they made a mistake.
