Tutorial(s) out of date w/UI, experiencing a 524 & 403 error + Airbyte.io Slack signup request

[axwebber]

Hi Folks,

I've been working through this Exchange Rates Tutorial and it seems like many of the videos shown don't depict the latest version of cloud.airbyte.com.

One specific area that seems different, amongst others that I shan't mention for now for the sake of expediency is this 'New user input' option (step 3) does not appear to be available via Query Parameters:

I tried entering the value manually and A/B tested via Firefox and Chrome yet the input value pop-up never appears, for some reason.

This is making it difficult for folks like me to complete the tutorial(s) I believe as it appears that the docs are not up to date with the latest version of cloud.airbyte.com, unless I am mistaken.

Secondly, I have been experiencing issues with accessing cloud.airbyte.com from home due to what seemingly appears to be a server error from my home IP - I keep getting 524 server errors and/or 403 forbidden from Cloudflare; ever encountered this issue before?

Ex.

On a third and final note - how can I sign up with this public channel on Slack moving forward?

"If you need support along the way, visit the Slack channel we have dedicated to helping users with connector development where you can search previous discussions or ask a question of your own."

Ref. https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/connector-development/

It suggests to "Contact the workspace administrator at Airbyte Community for an invitation." IF I don’t have an @airbyte.io email address.) FWIW.

Please advise, thank you!

Warmly,
~Alex
