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?
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.
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....
