Dear all,

Hello! While I was heavily editing a new work, Cloudflare decided to run halfway through, which removed all my work since it was not saved. This happened when I attempted to preview it. Is this happening to others?

Thank you!

Sincerely,
A. J. Higgins

Hello, you are the first user reporting a problem with the Cloudflare UAM (Under Attack Mode). The CPDL website was very aggressively crawled by many bots causing high server load and outages, essentially equivalent to DDOS attacks, so we are experimenting UAM as a solution to protect the website and prevent outages. Let's see whether the problem that you reported was just an occasional glitch or it's a recurring issue.

I had to back up and fill Addwork again the other day.

I have found that clicking the box in CloudFlare takes me right back to where I was. I think this is a good idea, the tighter the security the better in my opinion.

I am not saying that Cloudflare is bad; I love that CPDL is taking this preventative measure against potential cyberattacks. I just noticed this when I was working on a page. Hope that clarifies things!
