Just to let you all know, due to an ongoing spam attack on moodle.org, we're temporarily increasing the cloudflare security level. If you find you are affected by it, please comment in MDLSITE-3298.

So we will now have to go through a recaptcha each time a post is saved? sad

Sorry for the inconvenience Guillermo. I've added a note about it to MDLSITE-3298. Is anyone else having to answer an recaptcha?

We'll lower the security level soon and hope that the spammers have given up by then.

Helen: I've made two posts, and I was challenged on one of them.

I was also challenged when I changed my profile.

Apologies again for the inconvenience. As Dan mentions in MDLSITE-3298, he has now lowered the security level but increased everything on the sign-up page. Thus Derek, you should no longer be challenged when doing anything on moodle.org. If you are, please let us know!

New topic: posts still not coming for me.

Helen, I'm not the least bit worried about being challenged.  You just asked who had been.



25th August here, now, and I am still NOT getting all emails.

I have subscribed to ALL the forums as a test.  (I know this is insane)

All I need to do is go to Moodle.org and check the 4 posts displayed there.  Usually there are one or two I have not got.  eg https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=267642 from Mary and Dawn

Wierd.

I had a problem last week where the FIRST post in a thread never arrived.  Now it seems to be more random than that.

Found the missing mails.

Scores of them in my Gmail spam.

Has Moodle.org done something to make Google think they are spam?

Sorry to clutter up the forums.

Derek, good to know that your missing emails have turned up. I don't know of anything that has been done on Moodle.org recently which would make Google think they are spam. I do check my gmail spam folder from time to time though, as Google does sometimes make mistakes. wink
