Anyone else getting "Checking Browser" message

[MapleOne]

I am on cloud so not sure if anyone else is seeing it.

Every so often I get a "Checking Browser" message, it's been happening since the recent upgrade.

It goes by so fast that I cannot see what else it says.

Anyone else getting it and is there a way to get a screenshot of what it says?

It does not appear to be cloudflare and I want to make sure it's legit.

Maybe you should at least check the "What's new" page before posting - your exact topic has been posted already hours ago.

XF 2.3 - Browser check page appearing before site loads

Hi, Since yesterday, seeing a “Checking your browser” page before my site loads. I did not intentionally add this myself and I don't want it

Yeah we're experiencing this at our site too.

There's another recently created thread here on the matter, in which the OP has included a screenshot.

I was getting some other errors too with the new upgrade and foolishly deleted the notifications so I have to wait for them to come back.

One of the errors was....

js-check-failed message

Have users complaining they cannot login on ipad

Thank you for that

I really want to know what it is actually doing and what service it is

As all affected seem to be on XF Cloud it seems as XF has introduced something for their Cloud customers w/o bothering to inform them.

I upgrade immediately when an upgrade message is posted, I need to stop doing that because the upgrade hung for me as well.

I think in future I will let the system upgrade itself so the early adopters can report the bugs

I doubt that this is caused by

the system upgrade itself

as it is not mentioned in the release notes of 2.3.11 and until now only XF Cloud customers have mentioned the issue.

I am happy to say everything is resolved and quite honestly it did not take long, thank you so much @Chris D and team for resolving this in a timely matter.

It was resolved quickly once I opened a ticket.

PS. In case anyone is wondering, I have numerous tickets on Xenforo cloud and they have always been resolved in a timely manner.

Glad it's sorted for you. I also opened a ticket with XF and they fixed it quickly on my site too, and they also fixed the Discord link previews/embeds after I mentioned those were affected too, so if anyone else is still seeing it, opening a ticket seems to be the best way
