Is DDK down?

[IanM]

It seems I can only view the forum when I'm logged in.

Is the problem DDK's end or my end?

Also mine gets logged off quickly after a few seconds

There’s a number of new security measures in place to combat the bot attacks

Not sure what’s happening with you - seems strange as you’ve described it

Seems the site 'forgets' me quite quickly, and have to 'remember me' and log in every time I come to the site.
No big deal, just a bit of a change from before the recent crunch.

It will be your browser settings by the sound of that

The forum’s setting haven’t changed

Traffic gets screened for country of origin and detection if it’s a bot

Yes, that's what I meant.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm getting


What sort of browser settings? I use Chrome.

So if you log in and click the ‘remember me’ button it forgets you when you next return?

[Bootsy]

The blocking of forums to non logged in guests may well be something that has changed to prevent the bots but I will look into that today

Guests should be able to see the content now but not do much else

As a guest I can see the content now.

If I didn't click 'remember me', it forgets me after 10 seconds (still does). It wasn't like that before.

This is probably a Cloudflare security issue although strangely it's always been like that on my Ipad but not any other device - so yes, always click on Remember Me

That’s the screen I get too.

What you’re not logged in?

Just clicked onto DDK. Been about 4 hours when i left.

Yes, I would not be logged in, but..
The 'old' log-in screen appeared just, 'remember me' etc and click here to log in.
Did those actions and passed onto logged-in status immediately.
That was how it used to be before the recent issues, and that log in would last for the day easy.

Something has changed in the last few hours.
