Server load problems

Nah, other direction. Massive amounts of outbound traffic. Images, files. AI Scrapers mostly, I think, but hard to know what is scrapers and what is people hot linking direct to files in other communities out there which still loads the forums up.

rather then start a new thread. anyone else have to change browsers to get in?

I had a window open to the site last night before i went to bed. today the cloudfare check just goes in circles. I use Brave. so switched to edge and i could get past it.

useing brave today myself, havnt closed/reopened for a week, no issue. Maybe cloudflare broke it and fixed it and you draw the short straw with a bad cached js file. Try private window in brave so it has to load fresh js.

no dice even in private mode.

i'll do the thing that generally fixes all things windows based and reboot..

Similar here. Chrome mobile works fine, but Chrome for Windows keeps trying whether normal or incognito. Firefox Win okay. TIS Opel running AOK Windows Chrome for a change.

I let the latest brave update install and now Im hitting that problem. Googling for fixes but nothing works yet. If brave and chrome are both hitting it I expect it'll probably be fixed soon enough, as it must be a new and widespread problem. I can find reports of similar with workarounds but I think the older reports are not whatever started happening this time.

Yes. Laptop just won't get in.

mine started working again an hour or so after my last post. i did reboot my laptop and it didnt fix it straight away, so im going with it being a problem not on my laptop directly.

My main session even after the update was still working, but in a private window, and therefore a new session that one was failing. But I just re-tested in a private window and straight in. So whatever was going on appears to have passed. Probably a glitch at cloudflare is my guess.
