    I cannot comment on the specifics but hopefully someone from the office (OK WFH!) will be able to when they are back on duty

    I would say though that there have been times during the day, particularly around the HSE/Government updates, when we are seeing unprecedented numbers viewing the site with Cloudfare kicking in. I'm not sure if there's something which is because of site traffic

    Not seen that X before but the typeface is certainly the cloudflare look.

    I'd hazard a guess that Cloudflare is blocking POST requests, particularly from IPs outside Ireland.

    Hi Deja Boo,

    Unfortunately, this is a Cloudflare restriction being imposed upon your location. You could try using a VPN to appear to be accessing Boards from elsewhere; the most reliable being inside of Ireland, of course. Apologies for the inconvenience.

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