This morning, continuing the relentless slide of this website towards oblivion, we have the ever-present Cloudflare, supposedly protecting the site against bots, failing completely and presenting the user with a non-functioning security page.

I don't see why I should be asked to prove my humanity after I've already logged in to my account, but if such security measures are necessary, then at the very least they should work properly.

This morning, continuing the relentless slide of this website towards oblivion, we have the ever-present Cloudflare, supposedly protecting the site against bots, failing completely and presenting the user with a non-functioning security page.

I don't see why I should be asked to prove my humanity after I've already logged in to my account, but if such security measures are necessary, then at the very least they should work properly.

It took three attempts by me before Cloudflare eventually managed to present its checkbox, rather than just its smug announcement about deterring bots with no way to go further. If I'd been an LSP coming to look for translators, I don't think I'd have persisted that far.

Exactly, "what a mess"! Feb 14

In my case, last week, every time I opened my computer, I had to log in.
I also submitted two support tickets while I was still a paying member, and so far, total silence.
This platform has become a terrible place in every sense.
I didn’t renew my subscription out of spite or anything else; the reason is precisely this: it no longer works for me, it’s no longer useful, and, moreover, it doesn’t respect professionals.
