BVZ, yes but no deodorant and I don't think a computer could pick that up?

Computer asks Bob to prove that he is a human.

The site does seem to be operating blazing fast right now.

Working as it should be, no bots.

Now i can't access forums using tapatalk on my phone.

I sign and it says error.

I can sign in to the forums without tapatalk.

Don't know what the problem is.

[tempest1964]

What is tapatalk? Lol

[thepontiacman]

Tapatalk is a app for android users to access the forums.

[KS circutguy]

tapatalk sucks

Not sure what happened but having to verify I'm human on every page or every topic I click on is not impressive. Maybe my puter is too old, Older mac. 1st time i've come on here in 4-5 days because of this. I get having to verify but on every topic we look at? Signing off now, might not be back for a while, although I do enjoy coming here.

I think the captcha calms down some after it learns your device.
But always there at initial sign on.
I get it randomly when making a post.
It auto-verifies and I don't have to check a box or jump another hoop.

I was having that issue also but am using my phone. I was using safari to view the forum and was having to verify that I was a human for everything I clicked on. I switched to google and it asks only 1 time when you open the forum and works very good now. You might try google or an alternate search engine to see if that helps.

Trying to access thru Google on my Mac, and this is how is shows, it's ok on Apple Iphone Cell on safari but won't work at all on my Mac. Crap can't even upload pictures and now it won't let me sign out, LOL. Guess my Mac is too old. Time to upgrade.

On my cell it works ok. This is how the site looks on my Mac

Have you tried using 'Brave' browser?

So far I only get the verification when I initially sign on to the site. Takes about 3 seconds.

The cloudflare verification never makes me respond, which means it is looking at my browser for signs that I'm a human and not a bot. I use Edge, and find I have to re-verify often... this suggests the software is using a "timer" of some type, like a cookie that expires.

I do find the repeated verification a little annoying but it seems to be working wonders so I'm really happy to see it. OTOH, a more persistent cookie that was tied to my IP address or a single log-in to the forum would not upset me.

Since the captcha thing is looking at my browser, I can see why everyone using a different browser would probably have a different experience. I suspect if your browser blocks scripts more aggressively, the harder it is to verify you are not a bot.

Hope everyone adjusts, though, as this feels like a breakthrough!

Working good. Nice.

I'm using an Android 13 software tablet , and Google Chrome as a browser.
No complaints , especially if the guest count stays under 1,000 instead of 20,000.
Most times it is under 100 now.

Real guests are welcome though , of course.

Lock out the guests, no, make a member do extra things.
