Changed security settings for this site

[Paul-R]

I got the Error 1015 as well. I reckon it's because whenever I refresh the Active Topics page I keep open I open tabs up of all the new posts. I can easily have 10, 15 or more open depending on how long it's been since I last refreshed the screen. I could go to the first 4 or 5 without a problem but after that the tab had the message. A simple F5 refresh gets the page I want.

So I'm obviously demanding more resources than the system thinks I should have. No need to log out and back in at all.

I just enabled the rate limits today, I will adjust the threshold.

I have reconfigured the blocking rules which should now be less likely to catch legitimate users.

The lockout period should only be 10 seconds.

Yep....I have been getting that as well...and every time I visit the site I get the human check

Did you get the error 1015 after 3:11 am?
When you get the human check, were you previously logged out of the forum?

I normally have several tabs open in 'Edge', with this Forum being the first one. I will browse through these tabs, and if I am 'away' from the Forum tab for more than around 15 minutes, I get the 'Human' check when I refresh the 'Forum' tab.

Bot check human verification tick box , tick , im in ok did notice it was crashing several days ago all seems normal now

If you are reporting issues in this topic, please give the time and date of when the symptoms were last observed.

Although I may just have worked out why people are unexpectedly getting the human test.

[xantia_v6]

As of now, I have reconfigured again, which should eliminate the false positives.

Couldn't get in late last night and got the "you have been temporarily banned message". I do log in several times a day so maybe I exceeded the previous limit.

Got in this morning to back to normalish..although still got the no graphics initial screen which I needed to refresh.

Thanks Mike for your expertise in sorting these things out and keeping the forum flowing when these problems crop up.

Kind regards

Neil

First issue I have had, at viewtopic.php?p=876145#p876145
2 mins ago I entered that post, clicked 'Submit' and got:

Error screen

I waited 20 secs or so and clicked the recycle/refresh icon and it went through as normal.
