TF Pop Up On Entering Site

yes.

I am getting this every time I enter the Forum this evening.

Anyone else getting it?

Yup.....
And each time, the time to clear the visual is taking longer.
Must be the Feds search for porongraphic images of trawlers.

CloudFlare is a useful tool to, theoretically at least, enhance site performance, accelerate the access speed and improve the visitors’ experience, what works as an intermediary between request and web server.
Error 522 indicates that Cloudflare is unable to reach the origin web server and the request times out. Clearly it means CloudFlare is not able to establish a connection with web server Trawlerforum.com.

DDOS (“Distributed” Denial-Of-Service attacks) are obviously not engaged by real humans clicking on links in a browser tab, but by bots sending massive amount of parallel requests to the web site target.

Therefore I’m guessing - just wondering here - there may have been a lot of bot attacks... then Checking your browser before accessing Trawlerforum.com is DDOS protection which means checking whether the HTTP client is a real browser or not.

Same here. Pop-up on the desktop site and can’t logon through my iPad app (same issue as Gmarr)

I get the pop ups but they don't bother me. I have much more serious issues in my life that DO bother me.

+1 Same issue w/ app

Unblock pop ups until you get in and then put them back on again.

BTW, how did you post that!!

Menzies- I posted it via the website. My issue is in the Apple App. I don’t know how to unblock pop ups in the app....

Anyone? First time ever having an issue

It's the first time this has happened and I suspect it is a short term thing until they get back into work. We are all getting it.

It's been a while since I used my iPad - but I think you need to allow pop ups on your device - not the individual app. Try that and see if you can log in. Then re set the pop up blocker.

Maybe I’ve attached the pic [IMGhttp://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=89888&stc=1&d=1560092188[/IMG]

Far better to let people know how you feel than letting things fester. If you were looking for someone to sugar coat it, you probably need to look elsewhere.

Yeah, just noticed that this morning. The app didn’t work and then got the pop-up when I used my browser to log in. The app is the only thing that keeps me active in TF.

Maybe they are trying to tell me something....?

Looks to me like someone made a change to a DNS record on June 5th.

What's even more odd is global DNS traffic went to zero Friday morning at 11am for trawlerforum.com. The www has the same drop in DNS traffic.

I saw the redirect too about the browser. Looks suspicious. I'm going to throw a fgew more tools at the www site for fun.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The admin staff has been notified. Hopefully we’ll be back up and running as designed shortly.

More clues, possibly the site(s) were under attack (looks like a Ddos attack) and DNS was redirected to a scrubbing center to stop the Ddos, and it didn't work, or someone mis-configured something somewhere.

Does TF reside in Tapa Talk? I thought it showed up on my phone when I also downloaded the app. It had an update a couple days ago.

Larry or Admins,

Let me know how I can help. PM me and I can call someone if it helps.

Thanks Larry !

In addition to the issue mentioned ab the OP, on my I phone, accessing the site has shown “non secure — trawlerforum.com” in the address bar for about two weeks now.

It wasn't that annoying. Now if it had gone on for a minute.....

That is part of a Google Chrome browser, nothing to do with the TF site. You will see that on all non https sites.

You can change your Chrome setting to turn that notification off.

Open a new tab and put chrome://flags/ into the address bar. Go to your find drop down in the top right corner of the tab and search for non-secure. You will see the setting for "Mark non-secure origins as non-secure." You can now disable that.

However it is good to have it there for any sites you are putting confidential information into - like you credit card. Those should always be HTTPS or Secure.

Thanks, Menzies. Strange I didn’t notice it before about two weeks ago. Then again, I notice something different with every update.

This is scary.
What would you guys do if something really happened?

Been getting pop ups since Saturday.

Test
Deleteted cookie for this site only and back in action.

Tried the cookies and cache delete. I still get the three bouncing balls on every click on the forum.

I'm getting it too, here and on cruisersforum. com too and I'm not liking any of it one d'd bit! Here, earlier tonight I thought a post I'd spent at least 45 minutes writing was GONE when the system gave me a a message telling me it was scanning my post before posting and went to a white screen. 5 minutes later I was still staring a blank screen. Hoping against hope, I hit the back button...and there it was, still waiting for me to hit post (whew!).

Only one explanation for it I can think of...their IT people fell for a PC-Matic sales pitch. Their tv commercials tout that they're the only AV program that uses "white listing" (allow only known safe input). That's certainly how trawlerforum and cruisersforum have started behaving anyway! Mods, PULLEEEEEZE convince IT to get rid of whatever it is!!!

I am about ready to poke the bouncing balls to deflate them.

So i'm mainly a mobile app user, and i got the same error that others have listed, and couldn't log in. I decided to delete the app and try to reinstall it.

It's not listed anymore. I can't find the app in itunes app store.

Sadface.
