Was looking at the https://forums.contractoruk.com/members/list/ and wanted to sort by reputation or post count to see top posters. No longer works. Coming up with an error on any sorts. Seems a new glitch.

It's the first reply to this thread.

Edited to add: I've also just been told that as there was an ongoing bot swarm, the protection has been set to the highest level, which means it challenges every visitor that hasn't been challenged within the set time. Assuming the bots have moved on, they'll drop it down a notch. That means that CloudFlare will first check for other signals that you're not a bot when deciding whether to let you pass, so will be much less likely to challenge you in the first place.

Further update: the security level to trigger a challenge was lowered, and the bots came swarming back in like those tentacle things in The Matrix (1999). So we'll have to put up with being challenged occasionally for a while longer
