Cloudflare

Hi,
I've visited FTE a few times today. Sometims there's a delay while Cloudflare runs some kind of check. I think that's coming from FTE, but I don't know why. It's some kind of security gizmo from what I've read, but I have no idea what's triggering it. Doesn't show up every time.

Anybody?

Known bug in the system, I've been told they are working on the issue. Several people including myself have been experiencing the same thing.

I'm sure this is hitting a bunch of us, its a bit annoying but not really affecting anything usage-wise so far.

Yep, annoying, if you hit the back button "if using phone" it'll skip the picture security measure. It is annoying though.

Do not download their suggest extension. It is Malware.

FTE is aware of the issue and I'm sure they're working on a solution. There are about a dozen different threads all over the place regarding this.

If I get the CAPTCHA page...I just refresh the 'puter...it's worked every time.

Patience please.

Apparently FTE was attacked on Friday night...CLOUDFARE did what it's paid to do...protect the site. Be thankful CLOUDFARE worked.

Attempted hack or DDoS, I said an attack by Chevy people, but the admin didn't fall for it.

Full disclaimer I'm pretty much a performance GM fan but love that the rivalry 'twixt Ford & GM is still alive today!
