Is it just me or is the security verification annoying? I can barely use the site properly because of it.

The site is blocked on various browsers because the verification is bugged. The site is impossible to use right now.

Every website on the internet has been getting hit hard by AI bots the last year or so now. It's gotten to where we've really had to lean into Cloudflare and other bot prevention methods, as we've have 10k+ user agents attempting to access the forum per second. I've just downgraded it a little bit. Let me know if that helps.

Also, further explanation as to what particular error you were seeing would be helpful. I assume we're all referring to the Cloudflare verification message? Want to make sure it's an issue with Cloudflare, and not the server itself.
Happy 4th of July to all my friends in the USA! 🇺🇸

Wishing you a fantastic Independence Day as you celebrate 250 years of freedom and independence. Have a safe and enjoyable day with family, friends, and fireworks! 🎆
Sad news. I broke up with my girlfriend Lorraine because I was seeing another girl named Claire Lee.
But the good news is that I can see Claire Lee now Lorraine is gone.

When you become an accountant you will win the "most boring job" award! :P Just kidding, keep up the good work!
Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.
It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.
I'm weird and as proof of that I'm going to Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu tonight even though I've never watched The Mandalorian 😂
Masters of the Universe was awesome. The only downside was the three dipshits sitting in the same row as us. It seems like someone always has to ruin a great movie by talking and making noise throughout the film. 😒🎬
Got my blood test results back today — HbA1c is 82 mmol/mol. Definitely higher than it should be, but I’ve had worse results in the past.
Diabetic foot ulcers are honestly so exhausting. You do everything you're told — dressings, trying to keep pressure off it, antibiotics, appointments that cost a fortune — and then it starts bleeding again anyway.

Even without pain, the constant stress, bleeding, smell, dressing changes, and worrying about infection is draining. People really underestimate how much chronic wounds affect your day-to-day life.

@Matthew-NC about a year or two ago I had one on the bottom of my big toe for like a year. Every time it got better it would get worse. This new one which is on the same foot 😂 not by the toe though has been here for about 2 months-ish.

@Matthew-NC my partner is always getting abscesses although he's not diabetic. It's known by some funny name that sounds like a dinosaur 😂

I'm no doctor, babe - I don't even play one in the Staff Room! - but even with the complication of diabetes, ask your doctor about whether it could be lymphedema. If it is, that can dealt with and it'll help you heal those wounds. :hug:
Did you know that sleeping in full armor is actually the best way to get a full knight’s sleep? 🛡️😴
