Not a very interesting poll but I've had to set up various security modes to stop bots flooding the forum guest list (it's happening on a lot of websites these days). There have always been some - and they are harmless, unless they get too many and then they can slow things down. But I've set things up to block most of them, while not affecting regular members or genuine guests so you don't have to do captcha's etc. So this poll is just to check whether you have had any security check on accessing the forum at all so I know it's all working as it should. I know one member is having this due to being in a particular country. But it would be helpful to know if you have or not and if so what type. So I can make sure the settings don't make it a hassle for members.

Technically you shouldn't get anything - unless you are on a very old computer for example. Feel free to post below as well - it might be different depending on what country you're in but hopefully nothing at all for most members. :-)
 
Mine is the box to tick! It’s fine compared to captcha because those can be difficult to solve 😅

I'm glad it's not a captcha! It'll help me try and tweak things if I know what people are getting. There's a house sale site I go on that is terrible at the moment. It has me do three puzzle matches TWICE every time I try and login! I find them hard!
