So what's been going on here recently?
This site seems to be having more breakdowns than Britney Spears.

Getting verified just about every page at the moment - presumably I'm clicking too fast...

Anyways, it's not just us - https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/29/ai_web_crawlers_are_destroying/

With less nude photo's being shared, which is not a bad thing with wargamers

I've been having issues over the last two days when I log in on both my phone and laptop. The cloudfare page loads as normal but sits for around 10 seconds before telling me it's taking longer than normal, then after a couple of seconds it thanks me for verifying I'm human (no tick box having been shown) and loads the page and I'm in.
I've cleared my cache and come in to the page from a Google search but still get the same?
I have ran full virus and spyware/mallware check on both my phone and laptop with a clear result.

Gentlemen,

One of our members Flodden 1513 has asked me to inform the Moderators that he is locked out of LAF.

His email address is not currently recognised by forum software and he cannot access LAF.

Thank you for your attention.

The same.  I can log in on my laptop OK but, as above, on my phone the cloudflare page page sits a while then tells me it is taking longer,

Well done seems in order. All seems to be working.

[Cubs]

Round of applause guys, well done. Might be a few teething issues, but I think we all appreciate your hard graft.

Yay its back - thanks for the fix guys

I found a strange thing: in the Profile Info, Show Stats, Posting Activity By Time, the hours changed! 

What is the time zone of the forum?

The forum's default time zone is Europe/London. However, each member can set their preferred time by visiting their profile page (https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=profile;area=theme;) and adjusting the time offset to their desired setting (see the red box in the attached image for the exact area).

Dunno about everyone else, but I am positively giddy!

Okay, on Reddit, I admitted I MAY have a problem...

Of course, thanks for WI's patient reminder. I would add that, whatever resets may have been involved, I would suggest personal settings absolutely should be rechecked, both now and in the foreseeable future.

Edit: Just noticed the left hand sidebar is now just 'Recent topics.' The box that allowed options including looking at a list of previous posts of mine was gold for finding and apologizing for stupid things I have said.

I will follow my own words and look at settings I may need to fix, or work other options, so this only an observation.

I hadn't realised you could change the time format to the 24hr clock. I start reading 04:... and stop before I get to the AM/PM bit, so it's nice to see the proper time
