I just made a thread about this also. Cloudflare is a service which checks IPs to make sure you're not a Bot. Few sites I visit use it. Looks like it may have been implemented here last night?

Yeah, must have started late last night as I got the old school db error and couldn't access anything. That's a new protection layer that I haven't seen before.
I would think our cookies would notify the db we are routine members, and aren't a threat.

CloudFlare doesn't care. It will always re-check your IP after a bit of inactivity.

CloudFlare has always been on the site, but it tightens up as there are risks. I'll consult with tech, but it's possible there was a DDoS attack. Is anyone still getting it?

If you're asking if we're still getting the "checking your browser" page, then yes. I just saw it again.

I've only gotten it twice.
But the site was down last night with the database errors.

I keep getting that screen even if I keep this site open on my browser but don't do anything for 10 minutes or so.

I've seen the message a few times today a well. Using Chrome if that matters.

Saw it a few times too today and also saw the DB errors earlier.

Re: What is this?
This is my first visit today and saw it. Like the rest of you I wondered what it was and checked here before doing a report.

I asked tech and they said it's just some lingering effects from some testing that was done last night. Should dissipate within a day or so.

I got database errors early this morning, too.
