Forum been down today 25/05/16

[Darkwood]

A few of you may have noticed the forum has been offline a couple of times today for several hours in total looking at the forum activity lines, I don't know why myself but will report my own post to catch Admin's attention when they next log in. Hopefully we will be staying online from now :wacko:

From yesterday I have had to start ticking a box saying 'I am not a robot', it then gives me some pictures asking me what they are, if I get them wrong I am not allowed to log on. Is this going to be an ongoing login process as it's a bit of a pain?

Not sure why you should have to ID yourself, mine still logs in as usual, do you have your ID and Password remembered by the device your using when you log into the site?
I'll pose the query to admin' later.

Had to go to work today instead. Just having a little lie down to recover. Trying now to catch up on the Scots for drinking.

Was this on a normal device? I got the same thing yesterday when I was using a TOR browser but when I switched to a standard browser on a normal ADSL connection I didn't get the robot check any more.

I get that when logging onto to my emails it like a quiz just to check my mail , as for this website it automatically logs in , it was off line earlier though so had to do some work

None of you would have this problem if you got some bloody work done instead of laying on the sofa stuffing your faces and playing on the forum in between watching loose women and jeremy kyle.

Did I just say that out loud

Its happening on my phone, ipad (hudl) and laptop. Had to do it again now to get on. I actually made a mistake on one of them which was asking me 'which dishes contained pasta' and I couldn't get on for another 10 minutes after that!! I didn't know what to do so I was forced to empty the dishwasher!!

Try clearing cookies, it is probably set to check your IP address for some reason.

Dear Viz,this morning,whilst filling my bird table with nuts,my watch stopped...do you think this is connected to this issue? :bow:

 

[Deleted member 26818]

This issue has been happening now for a number of weeks.
Often I am able to log in and view, even reply to a topic, but when I click on new posts, I get an error message about an internal server error.
