We had a rather large DDOS attack on the server and I had to take some actions to stop it, this is why you had that issue. Everything should work ok now. Sorry for this.

Seems fine now. They picked the wrong target. Maybe some unhappy ex-member? Some repeat offender?

Probably Webroot employee who didn't like all the wonderful things we said about them and the result of the test. /SarcasmSeems fine now. They picked the wrong target. Maybe some unhappy ex-member? Some repeat offender?
But yeah I don't blame you for taking extra security measures. After all you lead by example. And this is a security site.
I have left dslreports over a decade ago; since the time they had their hack and exposed everyone's passwords and emails. The passwords were being stored in plain text! Hahaha. And I've been a member on that site since 1999.

Same issue with Safari and Adguard for iOS... Just to let you know, around 4 AM (French time), MalwareTips didn't load or loaded very slowly. At first, I thought my Fiber was having issues, I tried on 5G and it was the same... I wouldn't have imagined that MT was the target of a DDoS attack... Don't you have an anti-DDoS system @Jack ?
Same here with Firefox on Android with uBlockOrigin

Yes, we are using Cloudflare but it was a powerful attack.
Everything is working fine now, right?

Try Opera instead.
Yep, after prooving to be human, it connects, so Cloudflare protects against DDos hammering

Made a few changes: The block will show max 3 avatars and the other members will be displayed as a number. The block will show only if 3 members are reading the thread.
I am also experiencing the Cloudflare verification problem whenever I open my browser and visit MT.

Yes, your avatar will not show up if you have those settings disabled.
Thank you, Jack.
Did you notice what I wrote, that even though "Show your online status" and "Show your current activity" were disabled, my avatar still showed in "Also reading this" in the image you posted?
Were you able to fix that?
If not, I won't worry about it.
Myself, I filter that new "Also reading" element using uBlock Origin filtering (as I filter quite a lot of elements, among which are all "Likes" elements).

Admins can bypass that privacy setting for moderation, however, the other members will not be able to see that.

Have you tried our web app (PWA)?
I have finished all the tweaks for the "also reading" block. Max 4 avatars will be shown and all the other members will be shown in a count. Let me know if you like it, if not I can remove it.
