As an update, a lot of my problems with connection, wierd Chrome errors, probably 90% of the errors I saw were resolved when I moved off Cloud Flare.
From my Windows machine, I couldn't even traceroute to any site on the CloudFlare network, although most times I could browse the site without too many problems. CloudFlare told me that the problem was due to my ISP doing something with ICMP traffic. I could do traceroutes to sites on CloudFlare in Linux (UDP), but not Windows (ICMP).
Even when I instituted the CloudFlare beta of "page rules", I had the same problem. It wasn't until I changed the name servers from CloudFlare to my original name servers did the problem go away.
CloudFlare support admitted that it was having some problems with Xenforo installations, and that's when they tried to get me to try out the "page rules" route, which still didn't work.
Personally, I think the problem lies in CloudFlare's DNS or how traffic is routed, or perhaps the way cached content is retrieved, but since I moved off that network, I've really had a lot better reliability.
