[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 625564, member: 1"] Sorry for all the trouble. Based upon your description I believe I've figured out what the problem is. A little over a week ago we were swarmed by spammers posting garbage all over the forums. This happened a few times over a few days. In an effort to stop the spammers I tweaked some of cloudflare's security settings and then enabled [URL='https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170086-What-does-the-Browser-Integrity-Check-do-']Cloudflare's browser integrity check[/URL]. Some of the isolated incidences may have been random false positives but if you were repeatedly having this problem then your browser may be infected by malware which was detected and blocked by cloudflare. I disabled the browser integrity check so if that if that was the source of these issues then this should resolve it. I strongly suggest that anyone that experienced this problem scan their computer for malware. Here are some free scans: [URL='http://www.microsoft.com/security/easy child-security/malware-removal.aspx']Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool[/URL] [URL='http://www.malwarebytes.org/free/']Malwarebytes - Free[/URL] [URL='http://housecall.trendmicro.com/']Trend Micro Housecall[/URL] This seems like the most likely explanation, but I may be wrong. Please let me know if it happens again. [/QUOTE]
