Re: why is the forum so slow
Be happy, it's about 30 seconds here!
Re: why is the forum so slow
Yes, I get a lot of connection timeouts. Almost unusable right now.

Re: why is the forum so slow
Feels very snappy now
Re: why is the forum so slow
yes, now everything opens instantaneously
which means if the delays were truly caused by ddosing, then some mini-ddosing must have been going on for at least the past month or so(maybe even longer), because the forums have been slow for a good while now. its just a random coincidence that i was annoyed enough by it to post about it today

Re: why is the forum so slow
Is it typical for the submission of replies or posts to take a few seconds?
Re: why is the forum so slow
^this is whats been most noticable for me for the past month or two
edit: and just happened right now with this post (while the rest of the forum is fast)
edit2: submitting the edit was fast, but submitting the original reply was slow
Re: why is the forum so slow
Yes, it's been on and off. I wasn't sure if it was just me, but this feedback convinces me. Thanks all for sharing and voicing btw.
Not sure, why, but it seems that yes, we are being "mini-ddos-sed" every so often.
I can only assume these are attempts in taking the domain for ad revenue or some kind money-motivated reason...
Edit: yet another DDOS email from cloudflare:
3M+ requests in the last hour, most of them cached... without cloudflare we'd be down...

Re: why is the forum so slow
@joedf - JFTR, if I try to access the AHK forum (…/boards) using a browser with DuckDuckGo the site prevents me from entering it by displaying a "confirm you are a human"-confirmation checkbox dialog. Once confirmed it’s going into a loop loading the same page again (and again,…).
So I've done the same now using Chrome - that allowed me to access.
AFAICS, the whole event gets managed by Cloudflare, right?
Any ideas??

Re: why is the forum so slow Topic is solved
@BoBo i can probably turn it off now... But yes, that's a measure by cloudflare in "under attack mode".

Seems okay for me right now... If it gets worse, I'll turn on attack mode again for a bit.
Edit: yep... pretty slow. Turned it on for now..

Re: why is the forum so slow
Honestly, the forum is much more usable in attack mode…. The cloudlfare thing is a minor nuisance to endure for a performant and snappy experience while navigating the forum. I’m sure it’s possible that others have different experiences but just thought I’d share my opinion on the matter.
Re: why is the forum so slow
Yeah, it's only showing like 1-2 times for me, then got for the rest of the day... might just keep it on... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: why is the forum so slow
DIsabling Attack mode, as it seems to cause issues with the docs not updating and downloads being occasionally broken
