Apologies for the delay. Uploads should work as expected again.

Yesterday really took the biscuit. I went shopping after lunch leaving myself logged in as usual. When I came back and tried to continue my session Cloudflare sealed me out. They kept telling me my browser was out of date, which is nonsense of course (it's FF-115). I tried at intervals all day with no result. This morning, using AntiX rather than Slackware, but still FF-115, I managed to get in after half an hour going round the mulberry tree, repeatedly trying to prove I was human.

Am I the only LQ user to be treated in this abominable manner? I've put a complaint into the Contact Us queue but frankly I feel too old and tired for all this hassle.

It’s not you, Hazel. I had trouble all day (Friday MST -0700) Cloudfare kept saying the problem was with LQ although repeatedly asking me if I was human. Managed to connect just now. I failed to capture any codes. Sorry!

Caca pasa…

Aus too - coupla days now.

I had been wondering what everyone has been complaining about in the past, but now I'm finding out. In spades ...

A day later: Ray ID: 8862a0354aecf977 & Ray ID: 8862d896bb6b9836 & Ray ID: 88633188aff32710
(page takes a minute or 2 to load! )

same here, now started to work, but still slow

Also affecting me. Out of nowhere it started asking if I'm human every visit and once I'm through that its around 30 seconds to load each page. Started happening yesterday evening, still like it now.

Firefox 125.0.3 with adblock (but both linuxquestions and cloudflare greenlit).

edit: ok, not 30 seconds every click, but enough of them to be too annoying to deal with. I've also been asked if I'm human twice now in the same session since I first posted this msg. I'm going to take a holiday from LQ for a while. Hopefully this is only transitory and not "the new normal" and I'll be able to return.

Twice today. How does ticking a box prove I'm human? A trained monkey/dog/magpie could do it.

Same issue. Many '502' errors and requests to authenticate. I went so far as to send Jeremy a pm on X. No answer. Maybe he's busy trying to get this fixed!

Started for me yesterday....

I notice that the website is now HTTPS, could be the reason...

I guess that LQ is under some DDoS attack, and the typical attacking client isn't programmed to tick the box/wait long enough to tick it in a human-plausible amount of time.

Yes, yesterday cloudfare either keep me from signing in or if I was signed in either the board was VERY SLOW or didn't work at all, that is, it froze. Today, so far, so good.
Take that back. Just went to edit this message and it took a long time before the board finally responded.

I feel so much better now knowing it's the same for everyone. Yesterday I was really desperate and frightened I would never get back in again. Because this is the one place where I know I can always come for help.

Tip: If you download the latest FF from Mozilla and run it out of your home directory, it works better than the system FF.
