[Rebel R's]

Has anyone else when getting this when trying to log into this site ,followed by notice saying "unusual activity " notice requiring a checking of picture boxes for you to continue using the internet on your phone.
the interpetaration here is that " we are the ranger boys .com" is a dodgy site and is being investigated ,has this happened to others on here?

It’s gone a bit weird for me to , I no longer go straight to the thread but have to go through the forum choices to get here .

[Jeffqpr]

[Shania]

Myu has to make a statement regarding this.

Yesterday evening, the site was down for a few minutes while an update was being carried out, this may have caused 1 or 2 of the issues mentioned above.

I'll let Myu comment on the other issues, as I know he is in regular contact with the guy who looks after the server that this site is hosted on.

I've passed this info onto the guy that monitors the server for us.
I can assure you, that every measure is taken to keep the integrity of this site as safe as possible.

I had to block access to the forum while I installed some patches; if you tried to access the forum during this time you would have seen a 'forbidden' message. This is due to me setting an access control list with just me allowed while I sorted everything out. Once update was completed this was removed; if you are still seeing forbidden message please could you try a force refresh; control + F5 on a desktop type device?

Hopefully that's it so,not nice to have a warning message coming on your Google site saying "suspicious activity suspected" after trying to go on WATRB site and having to tick off which squares you see vehicles in to get back on Google. Its happened 3 times this week,so I'm assuming each time was due to site maintenance

Rebel, I just checked and there is no security related alarms in Google webmaster console for this web site.

If you are getting recaptcha challenges then this probably be due to reputation issue for your IP address, or device.

Did you find indentifying the vehicles too difficult?!
Tip for you, look for wheels, normally located in the corners.
Round things btw, fyi
