Relax...
From time to time, the nasties in the internet ramp up their automated bots and target BNA overflooding the server. The effect is a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) which makes the website hard or impossible to reach.
When this happens, I have to ramp up security measures and means that at these times you may get a warning message when you access this website that your browser is being checked. This is completely legitimate and makes sure that you are a real person... and not cyborg or non-human.
When the attacks clear, then we ramp it back down so the massage and check is not required.
Cheers
Christopher

Better BNA in browser than no BNA at all . Just have to move your smart phone a lot closer to your eyes for the duration of DDoS issues.......RonK wrote:It kills Tapatalk though.

Should be generally accessible again now. Tapatalk access is the price we will have to pay.. if it not spam filling up the inbox, or viruses, then it is a cyberattack on access to information.
