Restyle CloudFlare error pages

[georgebarnick]

Was browsing some wikis while gaming and found out that Curse Network has customized CloudFlare error pages.

It hadn't crossed my mind to do that, but since connection timeouts and other errors are more than too common on Brickimedia. we may as well make the error pages fit in to our site. We can style it to be more Brickimedia-esque, and perhaps make notfound.html a bit nicer too (since that page hasn't been touched since Brickimedia was first established). Thoughts? Ideas?

ooh looks lovely. This could fit nicely into the design guide :+1:

According to that article we would need a paid account unfortunately, which I don't believe we have...

Depending the cost I think it'd be worthwhile. Unless it's some absurd price. What are the other perks of a paid account?

The cheapest plan is $20/month. You can compare the plans here. Things that jump out for the $20/month plan are mobile caching (for example it only sends CSS based on the user's device--not sure that would be helpful with Refreshed though), image optimization, more frequently updated analytics, and a web application firewall.

Those aren't bad features. Might hold off on this though until further notice for financial reasons.

@georgebarnick While CloudFlare pages are on hiatus I'll look into what our 404 page needs improvement on (located at brickimedia/splash/notfound.html)

[georgebarnick]

I'd suggest we put that off too until CloudFlare error pages are styled, that way we can give the 404 page a similar visual consistency

[neoncitylights]

Hmm sounds like a good idea

[neoncitylights]

@MtMNC @georgebarnick Since I'm assuming we're moving off CloudFlare servers, would we be able to create our own 404 page?

[georgebarnick]

CloudFlare isn't our host. We'll still use CloudFlare...

My apologies, looks like I mixed up some terms together
