Re: I'm Human
I've gotten the same screen the past two mornings, what's up?

Re: I'm Human
I notice this on other sites as well. I have to check a box to prove I'm human. I think an extra layer of security by Cloudflare. Many sites are using this service for security. I notice the icon here.

Re: I'm Human
The DDOS that AAPK and other sites just witnessed was unprecedented. The measures currently in place maybe temporary or they may be the new normal
time will tell
for now our community is back together again and it feels good.

I noticed my bank and hi-bid are now using verification through Cloudflare. I just assumed this was to prevent ransomware and other hacking.

Re: I'm Human
When get on (I have it where my user name and password are saved) I go to new post and read those. It will load the first one and do the I’m Human check then open the post I’m reading. I use the back button to go back to the new post list and no matter what thread or topic I choose it will go back to the first thread I looked at. I have to close out the page and reopen it and it will be fine from then on.

Re: I'm Human
Yes Coley, some of our navigation techniques may be affected by the changes that are in place to prevent future interruptions. I've also gotten into the habit of clearing my browsing history which forces me to login to AAPK so that I know I'm using the most current version available.C-WADE7 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 16, 2025 11:34 am When get on (I have it where my user name and password are saved) I go to new post and read those.

Re: I'm Human
I wondered if we got DDOS'ed. Good job keeping it together tech nerds
That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.

Re: I'm Human
Well now it seems to be playing nice.
EDIT: Actually it isn't working. I can post a comment but after I do I get the "verification" which doesn't go away.

try deleting your browsing history and cookies Joe. You’ll have your login again but it should help get you closer to the way it was.

Re: I'm Human
Thank you.
I see "delete cookies" at the bottom of the page but I have no idea how to delete "browsing history".

Google “delete browsing history” for whatever browser your using (Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc) and follow the steps - it’s different for every browser.

I keep getting this, hope it's a security enhancement.

Re: I'm Human
Well if this posts everything is good.
I keep getting the same thing as you John.
That being said if I go to the bottom of the first page of the forum where the list of who’s on at the present time. No bots, I’m assuming that is a good thing.
Thank you tech folks for all that you do.
