I have put some new security measures in place to try to mitigate bot attacks in future. Some of these measures will likely need to be adjusted to prevent blocking too many humans.
Please let me know if you run into an error page, get blocked, or are seeing an excessive number of CAPTCHAs on the site.
Thanks for your patience as we work out the wrinkles!
Thank you Jordan,
So far no prolems.
This is SO much better.
I have had so much trouble trying to upload new pages this week.
Today I finally managed to upload my 2 pages for the Spring Challenge.
Thanks Jordan!!!
Thank you !
Everything is going well on my side too, I have no difficulty browsing the website, the new security rules do not take me for an evil robot!
thank you Jordan
Thank you Jordan. No problems so far! Sorry to hear about the problems.
Many thanks for your effort. Everything works.
Thank you Jordan!
Many thanks Jordan
Jordan, I don't think this is related to your security changes but it is an access question.
Trying to access:
https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/sales/on-sale-this-week#bundle-sale-node-319601
I get:
Oopsie Daisy, Access Denied
Oops! It looks like you are perhaps not authorized to access this page? If you think this is an error please contact us and we'll get things sorted ASAP!
Am I getting this message when the link points to CU item? If not, why would I get this error when I have unlimited downloads?
Thanks.
thanks keep site update
Thank you ! Everyhing is ok for me (from France and Belgium).
pour moi ,en Belgique tout est OK
I'm getting a server error message SERVER ERROR.
Please contact support with the following error message: it appears that s3fs file directory is not mounted.
I did contact support
poki04
don't know why message was repeated.
same here
I'm glad I'm not alone (or imagining the problem!) Not something we did, I'm sure!
I can not access larger views of projects in the gallery, I get an error message. It shows a graphic of a camera in a circle with a line through it.
No problem so far browsing around here in Holland
so far so good!
Thank you Jordan! So sorry you have to take such measures - but hopefully they will help with the attacks. Appreciate all the time & effort you have already poured into it!
@Lorri if you are a logged in subscriber & have unlimited downloads you will not have access to the sales page. That is really for non-subscribers to have an option available for purchasing. Subscribers with unlimited downloads would not need to purchase anything from the site since you can just download them directly. I have always gotten the same message, but I just use a different browser where I am never logged in so I can see the sales. Hope that helps!
@Poki Seems like there are a few hiccups this morning.
@Rachel I am seeing the same issue.
ok I spoke to soon. issue with uploading a layout.
Thank you.
Thanks all for the reports.
Issues with uploading should now be fixed.
@Rachel: issue with viewing some images should now be fixed as well. (Though you may have to clear your browser cache to see the changes.)
@Lorri: as Jessica mentioned, as a subscriber you get access to everything without needing to purchase anything, so you never actually need to visit the sales page. (To avoid confusion that page only shows up to non-subscribers.)
Thanks for the update.
Got my first capcha when logging in - Never had that before.
Time - 0438 EDT - Monday 25 April 2022
Cheers
Today Got my first capcha when logging in - Never had that before.
@Robynne, @Bourico: thanks for the reports. Our site was briefly put into a high alert mode which is why you saw those login captchas. Good to know that the system seems to be working!
Yes , it's OK today, thanks you Jordan
Great, everything is perfect!
On my mobile (cell) most of the time when I click a link it works but on my membership page almost all of the time I click an information link, eg the link to "Why Post", "Community Points" etc all I get is a recursive copy of the Membership page.
I'll try on my pc and update later.
Thank you for the security. I logged straight in and had no Captcha.
