Delightful Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 My computer just made me do a captcha before it let me access the Shard. Is that a Shard thing? Is my internet being weird? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Send me screenshots please. This is very strange and not intended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straw Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 @Ookla the ChibiThat happened to me. It must be an issue with the profile picture image files. Restarting my computer worked for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straw Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Sometimes that can happen if you are using a VPN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Im not.....it was a somewhat public wifi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elenion Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Whose WiFi was it? The administrator might have turned on some kind of setting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeonax Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Those captcha's come from CloudFlare, a service that this website seems to be using. It's purpose is to prevent robots (e.g. in a DDOS attack) from hitting the website. That captcha is more likely when you're on a public WiFi or using a VPN. Nothing to worry about.

Chaos Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks for the screenshots. It is indeed from Cloudflare, our CDN. Cloudflare does super awesome stuff for us. I could disable this but I'm not sure I want to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeonax Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I'd say leave it on, extra layer keeping away the spam ads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I tend to agree. But I maybe should play with Cloudflare settings a bit... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 TBH I just wanted to make sure it wasn't some weird virus or scam or something disguising itself as a captcha on an open wifi network....not that it was asking for log in details or anything but yeah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I now removed some test-related posts due to a freakout I had on Saturday regarding the site. Pay no mind here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
