This issue appears to now be resolved. Hopefully, this means the cloudflare settings can be returned to their previous levels.
Thanks for your efforts, as always.

Hopefully, might the issue apply to other areas?
Related? This now pops up in Chrome for AHK pages at base index or root, also search
Confirm Form Submission:
The page that you're looking for used information that you entered. Returning to that page might cause any action you took to be repeated. Do you want to continue?
Any subforum pages don't get it. Happens for some other sites, too.

Same here. I've literally never had to do Captcha ever on this site...

Yes, I'm not sure why... We reduced it but seems to still be happening every so often...

I seem to see more problems in the late evening and (mid-)night hours (middle european time), like still now, than during the day.

The forum is very slow again. Is anyone actively working on the issue?

I just added a cloudflare firewall to block all T1 (tor) connections. These lag spikes seem be from unusually high number of requests at certain times of the day.
For the moment, I simply monitor the graphs.

Thanks just me, there is a pattern.
Status update.
T1 = Tor. It was ~500k to ~150k. Then I decided to block T1 completely, and now it's a 1m+ requests... this seems like a new attack vector.
Code: Select all
T1 1,014,484
United States 538,612
Germany 288,547
United Kingdom 152,635
Russian Federation 121,986
