Both. However with re-registering, my password and name is already there.

Every so often I'll have to re-log in on my mobile phone, no set interval, have noted it's been anywhere from three weeks to five months since I last had to. No big deal, just puzzling.

I’ve noticed a bug with attachments that I experience quite frequently, often the first time it doesn’t work at all after opening the file pop up and selecting a file, and you have to repeat the process (always works the second time)

Thank you for the report. I can have a look at this mid next month (going away without the computer).

I can replicate the issue now, will see if this can be fixed... but will update the board software first (hopefully this weekend).

Yeah, noticed the last few days seemed extraordinarily high, but today looks a bit crazy!

Bots?

Simon Culling · Post by **Simon Culling** » Mon 29/04/2024 09:54

The number online at the moment (09:50 on 29/4/24 your time) is 495 - where have they all come from? - it is usually no more than a handful.

I have noticed a big increase in the viewings of some of my posts in the last 2-3 weeks, so I guess this is why.

Nev · Post by **Nev** » Mon 29/04/2024 16:01

Could be a sudden escalation in unregistered Search Bots in recent weeks, or possibly a deliberate malicious targeting of this forum?

I've also noticed some recent lagging when loading pages, before getting this temporary 'General Error' alert this afternoon...

David · Post by **David** » Mon 29/04/2024 16:17

Also noticed the forum a little slow today

Orion · Post by **Orion** » Mon 29/04/2024 16:33

Was slow to load for me on my fancy new phone yesterday.

Simon Culling · Post by **Simon Culling** » Wed 01/05/2024 05:14

Forum has been slower here in the UK - always is a bit, here.

Numbers of guests have dropped drastically - perhaps they got bored!! Numbers below are for 5am on 1st May your time.

Orion · Post by **Orion** » Tue 24/12/2024 15:47

Forum has been running very slow for me for the past week or more, both on laptop and on fancy new phone.

Also, it seems I'm now being logged out on laptop after twelve hours.
I used to have to log in daily, now twice daily.

Phone keeps me logged in ok.

Richard · Post by **Richard** » Tue 24/12/2024 18:41

I had to log on quite a few times during last week, but its been ok for the last few days

David · Post by **David** » Tue 31/12/2024 10:46

Very slow for me this morning too

Orion · Post by **Orion** » Mon 03/03/2025 13:12

Posted on forum at 8:24am, had to log in again a few minutes ago.

Simon Culling · Post by **Simon Culling** » Mon 17/03/2025 03:13

Unless there are lots of insomniacs in NZ in the early hours of Monday morning, it looks like the bots are back. Any idea who these 'guests' are?

Simon Culling · Post by **Simon Culling** » Fri 21/03/2025 05:42

The number of 'guests' keeps rising - this was from just after midnight your time today (21st March). Nice to see how popular the forum is!!!

Willoughby · Post by **Willoughby** » Fri 21/03/2025 13:01

They're bots and it's hard to ascertain it's purpose. They all have the exact same user agent string, but IP addresses are scattered from around the world.

I have added a Javascript challenge now to the site so block the suspicious traffic. This may or may not be temporary.

Simon Culling · Post by **Simon Culling** » Fri 21/03/2025 23:44

Thanks for your reply, Willoughby. I notice we know have a verification page that takes a few seconds to complete. The number of guests has plummeted!!
