Has there been a problem with the forum?

I have been unable to get on the forum since lunchtime. Something is not right.

Same here

After a day of no problems it has happened again, 9:24am slow access to the site and several minutes delay opening pages.

Hi all,

needless to say, I've not had any major breakthroughs with the logs...

I've temporarily blocked some of the bots/crawlers that index the site, to see if the issue is being caused by one of them. Please keep me updated if you have issues, and note the time so I can cross check.

Many thanks,

Steve D.

Sorry Stese, but I cannot post pictures. Repeatedly asked if I am a robot? I feel like it having to repeatedly log in on anything I try to do.

A check feature has been added to [try to] stop bots getting access to the forum. How long it remains in place is up to the Admins. Several bots were held at the application stage and declined by Moderators. Not known if this was the cause of the logging in difficulty or how long the Cloudflare intervention will remain in place. Your patience is appreciated. R_
