    Does Mr. Giffen (or anyone else) know what's going on with the CPDL servers? Over the past several months, things have been more erratic, and over the past 24 hrs I haven't been able to get in at all.

    They have had bot issues such that Cloudfare settings have been elevated permanently.

    However this results in a couple of problems, namely you’re unable to use the site for hours or days. If you do get to a page, sometimes it loads improperly. You can’t log in. It doesn’t remember sessions across tabs (that is bad and logging in like that a lot would be considered spam).

    I am fairly sure that my IP address isn’t blocked because I can get in about half the time.

    There is also the issue that Cloudfare verification isn’t playing right with the CPDL servers: the verification takes a long time, and it is slow to load the site in the best of circumstances.
