A question to Norman

Posted by Liz Dance on 15/8/2026, 11:53 am

Norman, I just thought that I would mention to you that on quite a number of occasions when trying to post I am asked to verify that I am a human being, is this a new thing?

Proof -

As you know this Forum has had little hiccups recently ie dead slow, difficult to post etc etc.
Boardhost explained that the problem was their Hosting Service is constantly attacked by Robots, obviously made using AI by 'Nutters' who get enjoyment out of ruining things for others.
It must be a constant battle for internet services to keep operating.
