I have been having trouble viewing the various forums. First off when I log in to the site now I have to do a CAPCTHA whereas before I did not have to do that. If I don't get frustrated with CAPTCHA and actually find the hidden fire hydrants or traffic lights I can look at the main list of "most recent" questions asked but if I look at a specific group, like "general questions" or "Bugs, known issues, open cases" it says "zero posts" which I know is wrong.
This has been going on for several months. I tried Centos 7 Linux/Chrome, CentOS 7 Linux/Firefox, Windows 10 Edge, Windows 10 IE11, Windows 7 IE11 MacOS Mohave/Safari. I tried with my web proxy enabled and also disabled. All present me with the CAPTCHA and then the same result with the forums. Might it have something to do with my corporate IP address? Can it be whitelisted or something?

I'd almost guarantee your source IP has a poor reputation. forum.centricityusers.com is using Cloudflare on the front end at least (if not hosting). Cloudflare is pretty aggressive, and usually pretty accurate on source IP reputation and such. No doubt Cloudflare is generating the bot check. Your ISP may have on the same public subnet as a spammer, malware source, or other suspicious or malicious activity.
Here's some places to check your source IP and domain:

I noticed this specifically starting on Oct 7th. If I try to click a link in a CHUG email from Oct 7th or before, it comes back with "Page not found". Any CHUG emails since Oct 8th, I haven't had any problems.

Does anyone have the contact information to query the site admins to figure out what is going on? From what I understand this may have something to do with "Cloudflare". if I poke around for info I can find board members; there are pictures but no contact info. They may not be the right people but they may know who is

Does anyone have an email address for the centricityusers.com site admin? I tried [email protected] but I get a weird message that says I am not a member or something and the comment needs to be approved. That is obviously not what I was looking for.
