Why Cloudflare CAPTCHAs to even see the forum??

[asqwerth]

we did try to lower the security level last nite. and the forum almost immediately went down.

I would settle in for the long haul. having the captcha is better than not having the forum.

also, I have zero problems with firefox and the captcha. can't say about conflicts with third-party extensions, that could happen I suppose, depending on the extension.

the time to get to forum is not related to the captcha. even with the captcha, we are still being hammered by bots and so occasionally its still going to slow down from time.

one other thing richb told me...one of the behaviors that the anti-bot tech looks for is rapid refreshes.

Noted. OK, I'll leave the MX tab open in FF, instead of closing it and then having to go through CF again when I access the forum again.

Thanks, everyone dealing with the DDoS attacks on our forum!

I looked around.. found https://midnight-lizard.org on reddit as a similar thing to dark reader, some even said it was better.

Other than that, I have no experience with it other than finding it on there Maybe that works better with CF.

Thanks for That

Will look into it.

Yeah, just installed it, and works right OOTB, with MANY MORE themes than Dark Reader.

Now I have more things to play with in this Digital Life

Wow, that is awesome, good to hear it!

My 2 Cents:

With Slimjet (Chromium based) I never see Captcha . Just verifying you're a human, that's it. Not so bad.

I've had to resort to Midnight Lizard to get the forum to display in black as Dark Reader no longer works also (LW 131.0.2-1).
The web site still works with Dark Reader.

I can confirm the same with MX Website ("MX Blog") working with Dark Reader.
Yeah, but not the Forum-- I'm using Midnight Lizard for the Forum.

I used to use “Midnight-Lizard”, I stopped using it because it gave me some problems in Transifex, but now I have solved this problem with “Dark Reader” and the forum, thank you.

Does this CF thing only affect the forums or the whole site?
The news/blog RSS feed appears to be not working in Thunderbird.

Was this feed working before?

To be clear: this one, right? https://mxlinux.org/category/blog/feed/
