Admin:
1. We recently discovered that a non-US IP address was hitting us with thousands of SQL injection attempts, none of which succeeded. They did, however, put additional load on the database. This wasn't intended as a [=DDoS=] attack per se but rather an attempt to take control of the site.

2. The administrators activated additional security measures on our Cloudflare firewall that have had the unintended side-effect of causing frequent [=ReCAPTCHA=] prompts for users.  We are aware of this problem and working on a resolution.
