lol I think user session timeout for cloudflare is to low....Should be increased to 4 hours...seems to be under 10 minutes right now

It sounds stupid as I know it is only one click, but I get so pissed off having to verify with cloud flare on here I visit less.

You are 100% right.  Several times I typed up a post, got distracted, then tried to post, the message would pop up and my post would disappear.

Well if @parsad is able to pay some of the overhead of the site by letting AI bots crawl our content, so be it.

Yes happened to me a few times as well. 

 

@Parsad it would be great if timeout or recheck time can be increased to a few hours.

Is this flaring up again for others too 

I haven’t noticed it. Much smoother and more automated than it was.

It's starting to flare up for me these past couple of days.

It seems to be better now.  Let me know if it is still slow.

 

What happens is when we are under a "bot" attack, it flares up to protect the integrity of the system.  As the "bot" attack subsides, Cloudflare's protection layer disappears and things run smoothly again.

 

Cheers!
