Given I'm using the same browser as yesterday, that seems an unlikely siurce of trouble (as well as not being a viable solution).
It may howeevr be worth trying as the problem persists… [And by your not mentioning, does not seem to effect you.]
EDIT:
Well it appear either minecraftforum.net or CloudFlare has suddenly decided not to recognize this browser (Palemoon) because it works with a non-preferred browser…

We have not made any deployments of recent, so if it worked before, it should still be working from our side. This seems like a Cloudflare issue, it may be worth raising a ticket up with them about it.

As I am able to access (and edit) my profile via https://www.minecraftforum.net/account/profile it does appear that the issue is with the "DDoS protection" check performed by Cloudflare
I am unclear as to whether you are suggesting that I raise the issue with cloudflare or that you (minecraftforum.net) do so.
As you are the actual cloudflare customer it might be more effective if the report was to come from you.
Otherwise, please email me the necessary information about bringing the matter to their attention. (As noted this problem also locks me out of the PM system.)

WARNING: I have an extemely "grindy" playstyle; YMMV — if this doesn't seem fun to you, mine what you can from it & bin the rest.
Assuming I can find how to do so, will try the PM refs edit mentioned.
[Due to some legacy extentions and possible security 'issues' with more recent versions, I'm very leery of browser updates. Have you any data on how the Brave browser interacts with this site?]

I had a look in analytics, but because it's based on Google Analytics, if Brave by default blocks it, we would not see it. Likewise, because it's based on Chrome, we may also see it lumped under Chrome.
Since it's Chromium based, it should work fine however.
Attempting to acces the user profile ie https://www.minecraftforum.net/members/User_Name or https://www.minecraftforum.net/members/User_Name/posts or https://www.minecraftforum.net/private-messages/send?recipient=User_Name
hangs at the "Checking your browser before accessing www.minecraftforum.net." screen
"Please allow up to 5 seconds…" briefly changes to a button that says something like "I am human" then circles back to "Please allow up to 5 seconds…"
It does not appear to be possible to click the button.
Have tested this on miy own profile/post as well as a couple of random users and a moderator account all with the same apparent result.
Problem persists after closing and restarting site.
EDIT#1:
The problen persists after logging off and logging back on. (This does provoke the 'Your Twitch Login Verification Code" email malarky.)
EDIT#2
This also blocks my ability to view my private messages.
Did you make a test with another browser?

Also, the link to cloudflare on the b;ocking page leads to https://www.cloudflare.com/5xx-error-landing/ which suggest cloudflare is having problems
Hi,
Is this still happening?
We have not made any deployments of recent, so if it worked before, it should still be working from our side. This seems like a Cloudflare issue, it may be worth raising a ticket up with them about it.
Thanks,
Ralex
Yes, its is.
And the cloudflare link in the waitfive seconds page is still going to https://www.cloudflare.com/5xx-error-landing/

Hi,
So I had one of our sys admins look, and they confirmed that it's not on our side at least, and that it's with Cloudflare and your browser.
The browser you are using is triggering an "under attack" rule and then is failing the JS challenge.
I am looking at how can send the message to support, but Cloudflare just really recommends their community support.
Googling hasn't achieved me much:
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=22098 it's slightly older and I doubt it's the full reason though, but worth a shot.
https://community.cloudflare.com/ is the CF community support. Otherwise, their support is pretty weak. How fun.
Well baby steps
Cloudflare foesnt' seem to like my browser; it claims "Unfortunately, your browser is too old to work on this site. Please upgrade your browser to view rich content, log in and reply."
Assuming I can find how to do so, will try the PM refs edit mentioned.
