5/3/2026 11:32am Thanks for the heads-up on this problem. We're looking into it.
bmcd70 Added a reply to This has been way too awkward lately
4/29/2026 8:13am I wish I could give give a clear-cut explanation for how to avoid the captcha, but it's not that simple. We use a third-party service for our firewall. They look for many different signals to differentiate human from bot traffic. My only suggestion is to avoid an unusual setup with your computer (VPN, browser plug-ins designed to mask activity, ad...

4/28/2026 1:45pm Our site is constantly bombarded by bots, so our firewall tries to block them. You're seeing the captcha because it flagged you as having a browser setup similar to what a bot uses. The captcha is valid for an hour, but that only works if your browser is accepting cookies (that's how it remembers that you passed the captcha). Hopefully...

4/9/2026 7:32am I suspect the message has been there the whole time. The site wasn't consistently displaying an "unread message" notification next to the mail icon, so you probably didn't know you had the message. We just implemented a fix to that problem.

4/8/2026 3:02pm It looks like some of you have very old unread messages (might take some scrolling to see them). Please check.

4/8/2026 10:38am Not sure I understand. Was the notification showing that you have mail, even though you had no unread messages?

I hope Jason and his family are able to heal whatever is ailing them. There's a baby involved. We should all be rooting for them.

2/12/2026 4:40pm This is separate from blocking users. The blocked content in your screenshot is a YouTube video. We're required by law to have a "cookie consent" tool. If you refuse advertising cookies, embedded content from YouTube, Instagram, etc. is also blocked due to their policies.

bmcd70 Added a reply to Verification page?
2/9/2026 3:02pm As I've mentioned in other threads, AI bots have become a huge problem for us. They increase our hosting costs and slow down site performance for real users. The verifications are one way for us to block them (don't ask me exactly how it works, but it does). I'm personally seeing verifications more frequently on other sites that I visit...

2/3/2026 1:14pm I think we got it fixed, please try again. Sorry about the hassle.
bmcd70 Added a reply to Vital Verifying Your Browser
1/14/2026 9:08am Sorry about the glitch. As I've mentioned in other threads, we've been getting bombarded by AI bots over the last year or so. They slow the site down for legit users, and increase our hosting costs. We've taken increasingly aggressive steps to try to block them, and sometimes regular users accidentally get blocked as well. I believe we've fixed the...
bmcd70 Added a reply to Problem when on Vital
11/22/2025 6:49pm The site has been getting hammered all year by AI bots from around the world, so we've had to get more aggressive with our blocking. Looks like you were caught up in this. My apologies. We're doing the best we can, but legitimate users may unfortunately get blocked at times. We plan to make some changes early this week, so...
