Topic: Your site has asked me three times over last two days whether I'm a robot.

That sounds exactly like the sort of thing a robot would say.

That being said, I've gotten the prompts too. It's probably some skiddies triggering bot detection. Quick enough just to hit the button and continue on!

Only three times over two days? I'm often getting prompted several times a day, luckily no button can stop my coding.

Not gonna lie bro, but you sound pretty sus.

Jokes aside, are you perhaps using Tor or a VPN?

It probably wouldn't be so bad if it put us right back where it interrupted us from instead of dumping us onto the front page. Thankfully, going back is only a couple clicks away.

Worse when you're trying to post something or edit tags. I've had to redo edits because of the check popping up when I click Submit and causing the change to be lost, and I've had double posts on the forum as a result of the check popping up when I clicked Submit, making me think it didn't post, so I go back (thankfully the browser saving what I had typed) and submit again, to find there's now two posts.

Been having this issue too. would prefer the page at least send you back to where you where instead of linking to the homepage.

Traffic patterns today have been exceptionally strange. I'm actively monitoring it and working to keep everything available.
