  Seems to be mixed for me, BBC News and Sport works but stuff like Weather, iPlayer (video streaming) and Sounds (audio streaming) have died. I guess the BBC is big enough that different bits of the site run off different solutions (perhaps news and sport are still in spirit running off "news.bbc.co.uk" instead of the main servers?).

Opened my browser, ad my three major Web pages : github, gitlab.gnome.org and old.reddit.com... They all are down.

  Unless you're browsing reddit without logging in, you can just set the old reddit theme from your account settings so you don't need to use the old. prefix :)

    And if you're browsing on mobile, you need to request a desktop website, otherwise it switches to the new version anyway. Took me so long to figure out, so many annoying attempts to replace www with old in safari, and losing the selection after misclicking.

    They reset the setting, regularly just to piss off people who only want the old frames.
