May I point out that Doug inadvertently changing a nickname retroactively is mildly unsettling?

Not retroactively. I think the Trio just didn't pay all that much attention to Luna, so it's pure luck they noticed the change in nickname just as it had happened.

It's not retroactive, but if you look at the timestamps either there's a date error or something weird is going on:

Ron notes that people've been calling Luna Shirley for a while now... where "a while" means approximately an hour? I suspect shenanigans.

Why would anyone be surprised about weird name shenanigans in the Potterverse? This is a setting where a guy whose name basically means wolf wolf got bitten by another guy whose name basically means wolf wolf and got turned into a werewolf.

Nope. Tried again. Same error each time. http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/dw8-04.shtml

I'm not having any trouble loading the chapter. Have you tried wiping your browser cache before following the link?

Wiped my browser cache twice and still got error messages. Kept trying the page every 15 minutes and eventually got access to the chapter.

By the way Bob, your front page still seems to list the last update as 10 July 2015 (unless my browser is still pulling an old version of the page).
