Things should improve, at least for a while as I have just blocked an aggressive bot.
Wouldn't want to meet one of those down a dark alley :lol:

Help

I have just switched from one broadband provider to another. All has gone well except for this forum. On trying to login on my phone, tablet and laptop using the WiFi I get the same message something like this site has taken too long to load. Nothing new there then!! I've used both Chrome and Bing. I have never had much luck with Chrome but Bing has usually got me in after a lengthy wait. Not now though.. The only way I could post this was to turn off WiFi on my mobile phone.
All other well used sites are absolutely fine.
Anyone got any solution
Thanks

All I can say Maureen is have you turned everything off and then started it up again. It worked for me when I could not access the site.
Best I can do, but the I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to all this tech.
There's bound to be a few clever ones on here who can give you good advice. Best of luck.

My gripe (occasional) about logging in usually goes like this: ‘You can’t access links until you have accepted cookies.’ Fine but there is no box popping up to accept the cookies.
I then try again & get the pop up this time. It then asks for user name and password which I touch to fill in automatically. This is rejected as incorrect. I then put the identical password & user name in and Bingo.

I've had that Ranchi and tried changing to a different browser. For some reason it started working on the original browser but I still have the name and password conundrum. It's a bit frustrating but nothing else has worked. I usually login twice before getting in.

I have noticed similar problems, however I have found that if I use Active Topics, my normal option, even from the sign on page, it let's me onto the site.
Maybe those naughty BOTS have also found that's a sneaky way in.

No, there is no cookie box, I just press port and that's it.
