I'm constantly getting the gogole verification coming to boards where you have to clikc on the bus or traffic light etc. Problem is it takes around 20-30 or more tries before it let's me in, This is ridiculous, I give up most of the time. Why is this?

Boards is fupped at the moment. Countless different errors, cloud flare, timeouts, double posts, just disastrous.

Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

This is a security feature from Cloudflare which increases when there is a surge in suspicious traffic to the site. It should be more or less back to normal today with fewer security checks/captchas.

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
