Has there been an 'upgrade'?

In the last few days TSR has been very slow - to open, move around the boards and to see what I have typed actually appear on the screen. I am also having to fill in the details about who I am and why is on here pretty much every day. Throw in several cloud flare requests to prove I am not a robot and it is making for a poor user experience

I agree. The same things are happening to me.

@Talkative Toad have you experienced this?

In theory nothing should have changed recently that would impact performance in that way! Are you still seeing issues @ReadingMum, @threeportdrift, @Geo Lover 7?

A week ago, it was every day but now it's every few days (for the questions). I'm also getting the "Prove you aren't a robot" every so often.

Just to clarify, which questions are you seeing, and how are you responding/dismissing them? :smile:

It's the ones you fill in about yourself (Subjects you're taking and at what level e.t.c) and I answer the same every time.I'm on a Motorola Mobile Phone using Chrome if you need to know.

The cloud fare issue yes (dozens and dozens of times a day), and I’m being asked to fill details about my educational status daily (on the old version of TSR that I’m on).

I refuse to fill in the details about my educational status and

Thanks, I'll pass this along to the team - it might take a bit longer to have an update for you though, given we're into the festive period now!

Broken in what way, sorry?

It's fine. It worked after a refresh so probably a glitch.

Cloud flare robot check every day.
I answer that I am a parent to the purple questions most days. Typing lag is not currently happening but was bad a couple of days ago - I could enter a whole sentence, one finger typing on my iPad, before I could see anything

I've viewed four threads so far this morning, and have received a Cloudfare robot check three times so far. That's been fairly typical of the last few days.

It seems to be related to how fast I move around the site. If I move around too quickly I apparently look like a robot.

If someone within TSR hasn't "tweaked" any settings to cause this, then someone at Cloudfare has.

To be fair, I've also had my suspicions on that one 😮

Just when I join for the first time, ie open a tab and join TSR. I get a 2-5 second hold on a Cloudflare page. No questions asked/answered, just a noticeable pause on some sort of 'checking' process. Clearly though, I'm not as dodgy as ReadingMum or DataVenia 😇
