I still cannot get in on the old bookmarked link, but I can get on by typing in "cpaptalk.com" with no issues.

I created a new bookmark and it works fine.

clearly, this is some random "stuff" given how we all are getting in.

again, today, my original bookmark is getting me in then back in later.

who knows for how long?

On my usual laptop.
Got sort of lucky. Found a link that uses a server that isn't as problematic. It's not perfect though.
I will often get the damn "I am not a robot" message as well as some security errors and on occasion the redirect message at which time I have to go back to my very first link that got me in.

http://cpaptalk.com/

It works for some and not others.

I use either my Windows 10 desk top computer or my Kindle. I have not had problems with either one. Having said that, I have probably just jinxed myself.

Sorry to hear people are still struggling with the operation of the forum. I wish I could help in some way those that are still having trouble.

For months I had frequent robot popups. Then like a lot of people I couldn't even get logged in for a week on any device or browser. Then figured out I could get logged in if I clicked on someones name in a post and logged in that way. For the last week I haven't had any problems at all. Just using my bookmark and logging in from the homepage. I haven't had a single robot pop up so things are working better now than they have for many months.

I use Firefox permanent private browsing mode which deletes most everything when closing the browser. I also have the browser settings adjusted so that as little of my information is being sent out at possible. I go through every setting in the browser and turn things off and on to make things as secure as possible. Of course I do have to type to log in everywhere but that's just a minor inconvenience. The browser gets updates as soon as updates come out. Not sure if this stuff has anything to do with it at all but figured I'd mention it.

Also during the week that I couldn't get logged in I download the newest version of Windows 10 called 20H2. It was an optional update. I thought it was going to be minor but it ended up taking 2.5 hours to install. The forum didn't start working correctly right away after the Windows update but a couple days later it started working flawlessly. There were some Windows updates coming through still after the day I did the big update.

This is what I have bookmarked
CPAP-Sleep-Apnea-Forum.html

I had a serious robot infestation several months back.
I found that an older android tablet (at&t bloatware) worked.
Then it started slowing down.
Now my newer tablet (verizon bloatware) works. FOR NOW
I would love to delete all the bloatware--just to see if it works--but I have a few chicken genes.

Damn robot....took me 3 of them to be able to post here after hitting the reply button and undoubtedly will take another once I hit submit. I have had over a dozen this morning.

On the plus side...I just now tried my old link and I no longer get the redirect message.

Just traded one problem for another though.

Equipment profile still absent though.

I have not been able to access this site for several days until just now. I upgraded to the latest version of Chrome (V. 88.0.4324.150) which is an emergency release due to known hacking issues. Upgrade to this newest version today!

I was using 150 earlier this afternoon and unable to get to this forum. Just tried again - same problem.

Agreed. I just tried my second W10 computer that was upgraded earlier and no luck accessing this site other than using the "Incognito Mode". All others need to make sure that if they are using Chrome that you are using the latest version The previous version has a "zero day" attack problem.

Anyone still seeing the redirect message?

Anyone now seeing the damn "I am not a robot" message ad nauseam?

The equipment profile is still missing....so that problem hasn't been fixed.

I had the redirect message several times this morning. Cleared up after a few minutes.
