Browser 'check' when logging into forum 23 April 2020 at 6:07PM in MSE Labs 5 replies 81 views

Starting today I've been getting a 'checking your browser' message when logging into the forum and wondered what it was.
The message states my IP address, so whether it's some sort of check to ensure that a VPN isn't being used I don't know.
Message received on both desktop and android tablet.

I've obviously accessed the forum so not 'bothered', just 'curious'.

Me too earlier on laptop using Chrome.
Read in the Express today about a billion people worldwide needing to upgrade Google Chrome to new version ASAP because of potential dangers.
Did this about an hour ago and not seen the message since.

I had it too yesterday on Chrome/laptop/Win 10. I just checked and my Chrome's up to date. The message didn't appear this morning.

Nothing yesterday or today .

Firefox just logs in as normal .

Though some internet servers are down at times .

Maybe they have been doing that since the new forum started but we are seeing the message for the first time by mistake, it has certainly slowed down the loading of the main forum index page for me.

Now I am getting a 'service unavailable' when I try to post a comment.
