How often have you tried to visit the element14 Community, and instead seen an 'oops!' page?

We have a couple of measures in place to protect against bots, but I suspect that legitimate members are being hit by these measures more often than they should be.

  • I had it a few times when I was getting 'Accesss Denied' messages from using Edge on Win 8.1. (BTW although this Edge is 'out of support', Microsoft are still patching it.)

    Haven't seen it recently, though I've mainly been looking at the site with Vivaldi on Xubuntu 22.04 LTS (I haven't been using 24.04 LTS because it broke some of the design software I was using and it was simpler to go back to 22.04 for the moment). In recent weeks, I've sometimes been getting Access Denied messages at weekends (worse on Sunday) on Xubuntu, though today is alright so far. Last Sunday was particularly bad. Those only apply to Vivaldi, Firefox on the same machine can still see the site, though when the system is like that, your annoying gatekeeper (Mr Google) turns up and demands that I do some AI training in return for access, which I now refuse to do. Presumably something falls over and needs a little manual intervention to get going again. Doesn't matter at all - I don't need to be logged in for anything other than actual blog creation, and that can always wait for a day or two.
