around late december i got locked out of being able to post because of a technical site problem but i was still able to see the site and some information most crucially Johnsey's email contact address so i was able to message him and find out it was just a site issue since that was sorted i see we now have cloudflare security check, sometimes it needs to be checked sometimes its automatically straight through i have one other site i use that has cloud flare and its been a hit and miss if it works, for no apparent reason it will lock me out of that site and there is nothing i can do to get past it by altering ad blockers etc my side, then one day it will be fine for months at a time the main thing here is when you are locked out by cloud flare thats it, you dont get into the site at all, there is no information you can check to contact anyone to ask why or tell anyone you are locked out so there are a couple of things, does admin think its a good idea for us to have a locked out contact email / message available, it would need to be copied from the site and stored in an offline place ie your own notes and why was cloud flare introduced this year? i dont like it because of the complete lock out, i'd rather have it just stop you being able to post but still see info you might need to get back in or contact someone who can help etc, other question is related to the seemingly low post rates this year, i know i've not posed as much as i used to in the later half of last year but i was always popping in, could there be an issue where the new security is keeping regular posters out? if they cant get past cloud flare front page they wont have any access to contact info
