Hello everyone,
for a day or two PC takes a long time to load on my laptop. And I kept getting kicked out...had to log in again many times. As of this morning, I keep receiving the following message: Insecure connection. Hackers may be able to access your information from this site. Click here to return to safety. I am typing this from my phone because I wasn't sure what to do. I'm not having problems with other sites on my laptop. I'm not very tech-savvy so I don't know what exactly is triggering the insecure connection warning or what to do about it. Any thoughts? Thanks. |

YES, thanks for posting this because I have been having problems with PC myself. It took me all morning just to get into PC. I also just tried to post and go into advance to include some hugs and got disconnected. So nice to know it's not just me.

I had a couple earlier but no problems since. Is PC using CLoudflare? I got a brief screenshot of it checking my internet connection but only on my desktop. My laptop worked ok.
Yawl have FUN fixing your computer issues!! Have you heard the joke about why Word software is called windows? That's cause you want to thrown them out the window when they act up. I just LOVE cracking myself up, LOLOL Seriously, I hope yawl get the computer issues under control quick! __________________ "Love you. Take care of you. Be true to you.

I spoke too soon! I am seeing the screenshot on my laptop too. It is gone in seconds.

The forums are undergoing a distributed denial of service attack which we have successfully mitigated. We apologize for the temporary problems in accessing the site.
When the attack is finished, you will no longer come across the temporary prompt to access the site. If you access the site regularly from the same IP, you should also not see that prompt more than once. Thanks for your patience. __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

I’m unable to make posts on PC in Firefox on my Mac laptop. The box where you type is grayed out.I did restart the browser, and it didn’t help. Posting this from Safari on my phone. I’m also still getting the “checking browser” warning.
ETA: Also tried logging out of and back into PC, which didn't help. Last edited by LonesomeTonight; May 14, 2019 at 04:50 PM.. |

I am unable to use PC right now… Every 5 seconds, whatever PC page I am on refreshes.
This happens if I’m logged in or not. I have tried on the most up to date versions of Chrome and Safari. I have turned off all content blockers. |

I also cannot get into PC, although I managed to bypass into chat. I'm posting this here from Tapatalk.
What happens is the page loads and there is a weird banner that says it will redirect then ot reloads to a failed load page. __________________ What if I fall? Oh, my dear, but what if you fly?

Yes, unfortunately, the mitigation tool was breaking some of our automated scripts that update information about new members and such. Those have been fixed and the constant updating of the forum pages should be fixed now.

The checking browser box is coming up again frequently like it did before it latched on last time.

I’m still having problems posting anything at all. On my laptop it redirects me to that cloud ware thing and my posts get lost. I got the same redirect notice on my phone too so I’m not sure this post will show up. I logged out and back in but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Yes, we kept the protection service active overnight, since even I need some sleep once in awhile...
The service has been scaled back as the attack appears to be over. We'll be keeping a close eye on things. __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |
