So i’ve been getting a weird bug on my phone and ipad the past couple days where the caguns logo at the top doesn’t load, no one’s avatar loads, and what I assume is random bits of threads don’t load.

I’ve turned on and off filter, script blocking, cell, internal network, public networks, etc.

Anyone else running into this or is something i’m filtering?

Is it a little question mark and using Safari? Then do the verification?
 
It’s been happening to me off and on using safari throughout the day with verification page ever since you cracked down on those attacks.

Found the bug, it is related to the recent security change I made. After confirming that wasn't so much an issue I rolled that single change back. We should be gtg now.

Thank you for reporting and supporting the site.

it’s gtg now. I’ll update here if it breaks again.

That's peculiar. The browser and VPN(s) work just fine on every other site I access, including all of my banking and investment sites as well as my .mil and .gov government portals.

What VPN service do you think I am using? My research indicates neither of my VPNs are known for AI scraping.

That's great. I'm just telling you what the issue is. Once I can afford the security team like banks, investment sites, and gov't portals perhaps it'll be available to you. ;)

If you notice, those sites you pay fees or taxes.

Not sure how implementing measures that only impact avatars and custom graphics is going to defend against AI scraping.

It seems to me that a browser fingerprinting attempt is failing, possibly you are using some kind anti-bot fingerprinting mechanism that isn't cutting the mustard.

Hey, it's not that important to me, I figured you wanted to know about bugs and this is a bug.

It's working as expected... You're using systems outside the US. It's supposed to be a bad experience. It doesn't affect people in the US/California.

It also doesn't impact just the avatar, but it does prevent things we don't want.
 
Brave or Braves VPN? I uninstalled the most recent update from them because it was making my phone and tablet run crazy hot.
