Frustrating. Is some of this maybe gathering our info from sources outside of RDP?

Slow here too. It also had to verify I’m a human, I’m starting to wonder. Is it possible that I may be getting hunted down.

I'm blaming either Robby Gordan attempting to eliminate the haters, or perhaps it's LOF typing out so many redundant justification responses in the Speed Thread, he's frying the servers. 🤔 🤯

Oddly, since we all started complaining, my end has improved dramatically 👍

Well, I wrote to soon --- now when I go from page to page, or back to the top, it's rechecking my browser 😖

I get a "checking your browser" window that lasts up to 15 sec before being forwarded to the site.

Getting all of the same notifications in chrome

Yup, that's what I'm using on my desktop --- but the problem seems intermittent, works fine, then suddenly it's checking browsers and putting up error messages.

It’s fine, it looks like his solution providers went and routed traffic through cloudlfare , which is a cdn, to help filter some of the shit traffic out and minimize ddos / attack vectors.

They’re figuring things out, it’s just a little clumsy. :)

Haha I do this for a living, they’ll get it sorted.

It checks your browser and makes you run thru a simple captcha verification.

Then it sets a new cookie.

Yes, you need to click on the forums and then re-enter the Sandbar.

After that, it's fine.

Not a big deal guys

Sorted out --- oh yeah, well just how many times does one need to prove they're human --- 5, 10, 20 ? How many post attempts is it OK to have deleted -- 5, 10, 20 ?

Yes, I'm human already :mad:

It's becoming a rather big deal after doing this almost every other time I go from one post or thread to another --- or every time I attempt to post something.
It's not fine, the site is fucked up this morning.

Did you guys go thru the captcha? Is your browser up to date?

I just opened a private window (which does not store cookies) and ran thru the whole process in less than 10 seconds.

I got the check your browser thing also, couple of seconds I was in, didn't have to do anything. I will try a different prop just in case.

Well I've thought that same thing about five or six times in the last 20 minutes --- I'm human, it's happy, then it isn't and we start all over. I've cleared my browser 6 times this morning and it's all RDP content anyway.

I am trying to get it sorted by tomorrow.

I am aware of the slow upload speeds, the login problem.. and overall “glitches”.. if something major is going on I don’t know about please let me know.

Hint, find the person who is posting the girl in the black binkini getting out of the pool. Posted many times...if fucked up my computer, believe it is corrupted.

I think your browsers need to be updated.

I just tested under FF, MS Edge and Brave and the only wonky browser was Brave but that's probably because mine is sandboxed.

For Chrome, click on the 3 dots in the right corner, then Help, then About Chrome and it will update your browser.

On my iPhone it took me thru one cycle of captcha and that was it.

I updated my browser and went thru a new re-captcha. I will leave for a while and see if it times out again.

Oh yeah, that's what it is, all of us are suffering outdated browsers 🤔 😂

I'll be over at riverchat or havasudoug for now 🤣🤣

Does this mean LOF will be re-assigned from P&G since it's gone into hibernation and his advanced "Excuses" skills could be better utilized in this thread ? 😁

I'm fine on my end - so have fun with it.

Done trying to help.

It's intermittent, been like that all morning. Right now, it's working tits on my desktop chrome, then suddenly it glitches and I'm back to picking out pics of airplanes and my posts disappear when I try to hit submit.
Do appreciate your help, just acting glitchy this morning and it's displaying an assortment of error messages almost randomly. Right now, it's working fine, we'll see when I hit submit 🤞

Definitely something wonky with CF settings. A ton of the internet is protected with CloudFlare but the current RDP settings seem a bit heavy handed. I'm sure RD's guys are getting pushed hard to get this all dialed in.

As for the non-tech guys saying someone is personally trying to fuck with Dave or this is someone trying to steal shit or this feels like a bad porn site; chill... That's not the case at all. The changes they've made to get this back up and running with limited downtime are pretty impressive. They've overshot a little now but given a little time it'll all be dialed in and better protected for the future.

The sky (in this case) is not falling

Had to do the captcha crap this morning on first login, after 30 minutes it forced me to do it again.

Using Brave.

Captcha fucking sucks balls. If I have to do it every 30 minutes, I'll waste my time somewhere else.

No luck getting in with Chrome or Fire Fox. I ended up googling "riverdavesplace articles" and coming in that way.
