Task force TalkChess access

[mclane]

As long as the computerchess members do not complain about the unfriendly takeover of their talkchess forum, nothing will happen and talkchess will be lead by the invasion forces forever.

Reminds me on the borg. Resistance is futile.

Not sure whether this is the thread where people compain about the talkchess access problems.

But I hasn't been able to access it for half a year at least. I've just been stuck in a CloudFlare "are you a human" loop, tried from various places and computers (home and work, ipv4 and ipv6) -- there's no difference.

Someone told me that it's not possible to access it from Linux but is possible from Windows. That sounded weird, but now I've just set up a windows virtual machine just to check it -- and indeed I can access it from Windows.

Anyway, it's not like I'm going to keep the virtual machine just to be able to read this forum...

Cloudflare configuration for this server is pain in the ass! Always repeating are you a human even when it is already done once and after successful verification still preventing correct page layout. So much incompetence and obstruction of at least one part
of the users is rare. Unbelievable that the administrator actually does nothing about it !

therefore the communty migrates somewhere else. you have to understand that this forum is here since 1997

I just tested, and both Firefox and Chrome work on Linux, kernel 5.4.0-169-generic #187-Ubuntu SMP
