Slow Forums?

Sorry, there was bot attack again. You may notice that "most users ever online" has increased... Looks like the server load is back to normal levels after forcing the Cloudflare challenge for all. I hope it does not cause too much inconvenience for legit users. Let me know if there are any site usability issues.

Thank you! I can live with a Cloudflare "check this box" and then being able to log in. I was not able to do even that for some hours. Now I am happy that I can visit FLM again. But since I have been reminded, I am going to log out and clear my cache and then log in again. That is always a good idea anyway for these issues.

I'm glad that we are back.

First I got several timeouts, then Cloudflare said the server is down, then I got a Bad Gateway...

So, it was bot attack again.

I can live with that Cloudflare checkbox, if it helps again attacks.

Yes. See mimzy's post: viewtopic.php?p=131198#p131198

I have not had to answer the Cloudflare challenge EVERY time today, but I do not automatically clear my browser history and cache on closing like I used to -- so maybe some Cloudflare cookies are allowing me back in.

I get the challenge frequently, but not every time.

Access with TOR Browser has become a bit problematic. Cloudflare's challenge isn't very frequent here, maybe once a day? But it doesn't work when the browser's security level is set to 'safest', even if both domains are cleared for NoScript.

'Safer' allows JavaScript in uncleared websites so that's not a setting to stay at, and I'm not sure how obvious it is that switching security level is something to try in this situation.

But if that's what worked, that's what worked.

To me, I only have to ever go through the cloudflare screen once

The only time I need to go through the screen again is if I delete my browsing history/cache

Which is honestly not an issue with me

So I'm definitely fine with the new cloudlare feature

Timeout is a week currently.
