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?
