This is beyond internet issue as it's happening to majority of the users here. So are you saying that most of us experiencing this problem are using the same network? I was also stuck with this case of human verification while trying to access the forum and in my own case, even after I've verified and the rest and say I want to reply to a post, I get hit with the same stuff and it's mildly irritating to be honest.
Dunno why these things keep occuring. If it's not gateway timeout issue, it will be something else. Is there a way to solve this problem or are we experiencing this anomaly because the forum is undergoing some form of fixing?
Who knows - we all don't know exactly what's going on until admin tells us what's causing it. So far I've experienced that too - but it's not a big deal for me and doesn't bother me, I mean only a few seconds before I'm redirected to the forum.
This problem happens to the average user - so it's certainly not an internet or browser settings issue. If this issue is considered annoying by most users - then admins need to solve it immediately.
