For the record, what should I do if I ever receive this message again? (I did try deleting the Forum cache but that did not seem to work, despite a restart).

FWIW, I had the same problem for a few hours with Pale moon, Basiisk and Librewolf.
However the problem only occurred when connected via my vpn. Opened an issue with them.
It is common to think of our own time as standing at the apex of civilisation from which the deficiencies of preceding ages may patronisingly be viewed in the light of what is assumed to be progress. The reality is that in the long perspective of history the present century will not hold an enviable position unless the second half is to redeem its first.

There's nothing you can do, as this is a server-side issue.

I do want to know what happened though. The TLS on the main site, forum, addons, and xref were down, with only the repo being up. Thankfully the downtime wasn't too long.

I switched cloudflare back on. I'm assuming it was a temporary issue getting the cert redistributed to some edge servers.
