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

    Oh, hang on: if you're seeing CloudFlare then finding the Back button gives that error, I think it's because CloudFlare's "not a robot" thing submits its form rather than just getting the page you were after, and browsers try to prevent repeat form submissions so you don't book the same airline ticket twice and so on. I'll see if they can find a setting for that too
    The CloudFlare challenge frequency has been reduced to every 24 hours for now. Assuming this proves adequate to repel boarders bots, the powers that be will try bumping it up to seven days at a later date

    This doesn't help with the Back button thing, but at least that should only be a problem once a day and, if things go as planned, once a week

    When I went to click like/thank, there was only one click in each box and I got the error message that Lucy's PM limit has been reached. Either they've cleared out their inbox or that was a hiccup as now there's more than one click in each.

    Agree on being unable to reply - it comes up with the invalid URL error when I hit the button.

    Well that was oddly odd: my "No Tulip Sherlock" post brought up an "invalid page" fault but obviously had posted ok.

    Brought up an "invalid url" thing after I posted about Terry Griffiths.

    It posted ok.
