First thing to say is that it's nothing to worry about, I installed Cloudflare about three weeks ago and it's safe. It's a 'barrier' to the forum that prevents dodgy robots/spammers accessing the site but I believe it's still just learning what's good and bad right now and so there may be the odd screen like that appearing.


Let me know if it continues to happen and is a problem and I'll see if I can adjust it.

It's more a question of what your PC is doing to it. There's something about your PC that means it has to to go through some hoops. I'll see if I can add you to the safe IP list.


As for lonely bots, I think that's just way beyond the realm of forum technology to get involved with.

I'm getting this orange CloudFlare/Captcha message, too, it started last Saturday. Found it a bit worrying, so I'm slightly relieved it seems it's not just me. When I click back on the EDF on my shortcuts bar it goes away, but reappears next time I visit, or sometimes pops up again in the same session if I'm on the forum a while. Sometimes the message says 'You're nearly there', though I've been careful not to click anywhere in the Cloudflare window.


I'm using Safari on a Mac. It's not happening at work, where we have a pc using Google Chrome.

    • Boiler serviced by Tommy, super efficent and clearly very knowlegable.  Def reccomend him.
    • Is Sadiq worried about voter apathy/protest votes? Just got another flyer through the door, it seems to be one every couple of weeks, suggesting the Tories are closer than any opinion poll suggests and that people should not vote for the Lib Dems or Greens.
    • I'm basing it on 20+ years cycling in London and seeing the absolute biggest rule-breakers being my fellow cyclists. I once stopped at a zebra crossing to let a man cross and a cyclist behind me called me a putain for stopping.  I've even witnessed a grown man aggressively ringing his bell and swearing at a four year old child for not getting out of his way.... on a footpath.... in Burgess Park.  I genuinely cannot remember the last time a cyclist stopped for me at a pedestrian crossing.  They give the rest of us cyclists and bad name and turn the traffic against us.   
    • Sorry to hear and glad you and hopefully bike OK and doesn't put you off cycling. Please do inform the police even if that sounds a waste of time.  Do consider going to the Motor Insurance Bureau, the slush fund set up by insurers for untraced/uninsured motorists.
