*I'm* not; and although the main cloudfront page loads normally the specific subdomain CP uses errors out with FF reporting a redirection loop and with a token from the bluecoat network filter appended to it. That's a problem they were unable to figure out; other than it's somehow related to my account. It happens when I use a clean FF portable install, so it's not an FF profile problem. It happened to the tier 2 support person who logged onto my computer (but not on her computer). After doing some fiddling (don't recall the details) it was fixed on her account on my computer and the fiddles were copied to mine; but it worked exactly once for me before the bad behavior returned.
They're currently as baffled as I am; and didn't know what else to try except a clean OS install and piecewise xfer of my data from the old one to see how much they can restore without breaking it again. I declined; spending a week getting all the stuff they can't get setup/installed/config transferred would be far more painful than just having to use IE for a handful of sites like BlogSpot was at the time. CP is the first major site that I've been burned on from this.

Edit: not working in FF yet; will check again Monday morning.

Yep - we switched to Amazon cloudfront.
I'll get my guys to do a DNS update of s.codeproject.com to our cloudfront address that should fix the issue.

OK. I'll follow up either if it starts working later today or on Monday if it's still broken (gotta give time for long DNS caches to expire I assume, and I'm taking tomorrow off).

Is this still in progress because the DNS isn't updated; or because the stupidity of WTF is wrong with my work setup managed to defeat the fix?

I rolled back to just using Amazon as our CDN provider so nothing's changed our end, which means if you're not seeing results then it's probably an issue your end.
I need to schedule some time this week to get our DNS updated and certs installed to move s.codeproject.com over to point to AWS which should fix the issue. Unfortunately when I made changes last week Amazon didn't seem to like them.
I hate this stuff. I really do. It should just work.

Something must still be being cached then.
I'm still seeing gibberish.cloudfront.com showing up on FF's status bar, and when I look at the page source I see this:
<head><title>CodeProject - For those who code</title><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="//dj9okeyxktdvd.cloudfront.net/App_Themes/CodeProject/Css/Main.min.css?dt=2.8.140814.1">
at the top of the file.

Maybe in another 10 or 20 years. They've been talking about Plug and Play hardware since the early 90's; but there's still no guarantee that if you plug something in via USB it will work without fiddling.

gibberish.cloudfront.com is the correct URL for our CDN. I assume that's what's being blocked your end?

Yeah. As I mentioned before, it's one of the sites that I'm getting redirect loops in FF/Chrome (but not IE) due to some interaction with the bluecoat network filter. From prior attempts to troubleshoot with IT, it's something screwed up with my computer but they're stumped and have no idea what else to try short of wiping my computer; something sufficiently painful that unless the cheapskates finally start buying SDD equipped computers (something I'm convinced won't happen until Dell stops offering HDD models) I'm completely uninterested in wasting a week recovering from.

I think I'm missing something. if gibberish.cloudfront.net still is your CDN, what did you roll back?

Sorry - might not have been clear:
We used to have s.codeproject.com which pointed to our webservers (so not a CDN - but it did allow browsers to download more items in parallel). We then moved to an actual CDN (gibberish.cloudfront.com on Amazon) which is a real, grown up CDN, so faster downloads plus the same benefits of allowing a browser to download more items at once.
We tried pointing s.codeproject.com to point to gibberish.cloudfront.com but we were having some errors on the Amazon side, so we kept references in our HTML to gibberish.cloudfront instead of s.codeproject.com.

Whatever *was* broken between my system and the bluecoat firewall here at work appears to have been fixed. I'm able to get content from your cloudfront CDN again; and several other long term bleeding wounds from it are also fixed (kickstarter and blogspot were among the other sites that were screwed up for me by whatever was the problem). OTOH trying to visit readwrite.com still redirects me to their firewalled error page so Mordac apparently hasn't been laid off yet.

Turns out the relevant "change" was that bluecoat was broken for part of the day Friday. They got it turned on again and my FF is back to being slightly broken again.

It's a works for everyone but me problem. They, not unreasonably, don't want to try baking custom configuration into a company wide system just because one user is having problems. After failing to get anything working on my computer and my profile (the help desk tech was able to fix it for her profile on my computer; but mine immediately melted down again when the same fix was tried on it) after burning my FF install to the ground and other "low impact" attempted fixes failed; the next step on their fix plan is to reformat my computer. The problem with our being a contractor is that there's no standard developer configuration they can image on; the last time I got a new PC I spent a week clicking through installers while working on my old laptop before switching over. Unless this one breaks catastrophically, or the bean counter stupidity that doesn't see billing 30 minutes/week for Monday morning disk thrash to my current project as preferable to spending the equivalent of what I'm being paid to not be able to use my computer at the start of the week for 6 months to buy me an SDD (much less time with overhead added in), the pain of having to use IE for a few sites is the lesser evil.

Just now I had two notifications of replies on one page, I went to one, went back to notifications, and both notifications were gone. It appears as if when I go to a page where I have multiple new replies, all the notifications for those replies get marked as viewed. I don't like that -- the replies may not be close enough together to view at once so I may miss some replies. This appears to be a recent change.

"FOTRAN" in this week's survey makes CP's home page look mighty unprofessional. IMHO, it should be edited asap.
