Started this afternoon I noted clicking in on a thread, say the R5 thread on my desktop it says it can't do that because I'm not logged in? Does this on most threads I've tried. I usually lurk on a couple devices so don't log into all of them.

Is this something new? Have to be logged in to browse now? :confused:
 
Just a temporary thing - the server was getting quite a lot of "guest" traffic from bots in a particular country. Admins have set content to require folks to log in to cull that down a bit.

Good to know it's temporary. There are times when I want to browse around the forum, but I don't want the forum to know that I was there; I don't want it to know that I have seen certain threads or posts. And the only way I know of to browse anonymously is to not be logged in.

It was temporary indeed. We’re back to normal again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
No need to apologize - I am just glad that you guys are so on top of things, that you notice when there are weird things going on from bots and so forth.
