Whenever I switch say from 45spaces to 45worlds I get a momentary screen that says something like "Just checking you're Human". Is this a new thing, and what's it for?

It is new and is a ramp up of the site security.

I'm seeing a very basic display page here (but not on 45cat) when I use my Firefox browser but not when I use Opera. Is this just a temporary glitch?

45worlds is working fine and everything back to normal.

I get that now, and it does make me panic, as I am not entirely convinced I am human :happy:

...But I do the dance, and the system is suitably convinced I am.

I'm not sure either how the system determines that I am human but it's reassuring that it does decide that every single time so far without fail. :happy:

In any case, it's probably a good idea to ramp up security against potential hacking bots, given that even the Internet Archive got recently hacked and was forced to go offline for about 2 weeks. I'm not sure what the hackers hoped to achieve with this, but I can't imagine they were hoping to make a lot of money there.

This human reality check comes up very often and currently on almost every edit action or entry check. Not the intention? Post scriptum: seems to have corrected itself....

It is sometimes startling because on my browser the screen goes dark (the check is stuck in "night mode" for some reason. But I've had no issues with it yet, and much prefer it over the annoying Captcha option. That said, one would think registered users of good standing wouldn't need it. But it's probably easier/less expensive to do it for everyone than set up a system that bypasses a certain class of user. Is this still used for people who subscribe?

OK, on 45Cat, I just got asked whether I was over or under 18 years old. This was after I'd logged in! :shocked:

Zab I think it needs to check the age cookie to ensure you dont see 18+ material , dodgy punk singles and obs the videos/films section of the 18 rated movies

It fails everytime, so I will no longer post images. Thank you for the stupidity.

I'm using firefox - you get an basic 'Checking You Are Human' page and if you tick the box everything goes smoothly. But if you don't tick the box, you get an error page :whistle:

The check is buggy. It's asking me to click the "Verify you're human" thing every time I upload an image. You'd think being a registered member would allow at least one click per session. Or is this something you need to be a paid member for?

We're trying to find the balance between making the website secure and making the website easy to use for members.

There is a huge amount of automated/fake/bot/AI traffic that hits our website (and probably all websites). So we need to use a firewall to filter out bad traffic.

If you're using a normal internet connection then you shouldn't be seeing a "verify" page, and you should definitely only be seeing it once per visit.

I'll look at tweaking the settings.

I have had no problems with this on my phone or iPads, though I have not uploaded anything for a while so can’t say about uploading images.

Happens about once a session when uploading images no big deal.
