Bug Description
1. Go to <https:/
2. In the "Our edge server has a lower timeout threshold…" box, click the "Disable redirection for 2 hours" button.
What you see:
1. The heading "Timeout error", followed by the text: "Our edge server has a lower timeout threshold than launchpad.net, so we can catch those [sic] before they hit a wider audience. If this is blocking your work and you are a member of the Launchpad Beta Testers team, you can disable automatic redirection to edge in order to use launchpad.net."
2. An alert saying "You will not be redirected to the beta site for 2 hours"
What you should see:
1. On any edge page that times out, the description of what's wrong should appear *before* the suggestion of how to avoid the problem.
2. Clicking the button should immediately redirect you to the non-edge equivalent of the same page -- in this case, <https:/

We are removing the edge domain (partly because of issues like this) and so the problem is irrelevant. Right now the domain still exists, but the redirect to it for beta users has been removed.
