When trying to add a pdf attachment on mobile it will show a loop of the cloudflare verification over & over again redirecting to the main page.

I only started seeing this verification process after the DDOS attack attempt ... I wonder if they are related.

Problem is its on a loop over and over again despite the same IP address. This cloudflare also sometimes can be a bit retarded. I haven't tried on PC yet.

Cloudflare verification/block happens due to client issues, not server issues. This could be from any number of issues as there is close to 1000 different firewall checks being done to incoming traffic.

You will need to share the cloudflare rayid for us to check back the reason you are being blocked by cloudflare..

We are unable to replicate this issue, so we're going to have to just make some changes to see if it works.

Based on your IP address, you're being challenged due to a high anomaly score on your request. We have switched over the ruleset now, do let us know if the issue still persists.

I did inform having issue with cloudflare after testing up.
The cloudflare base on an analysis on IP risk score are block and need verification.
Post with codes , add attachment , uploading links will trigger it.
I tried disable java posting code and still persist with cloudflare and even redirect back to homepage.

Cloudflare will randomly flag base on client browser/ip and etc so not everyone having this problem. High possibility with private IP TM user.

Sometimes there is no rayid , when posting it just return back to homepage.Anything I type gone.

The only option now is to post a pastebin code and upload to image hosting.As you can see , there are a few thread on unable to upload attachment picture.

What exactly are you trying to upload? Based on the cloudflare block, the content itself is throwing up all kinds of vulnerabilities.

Can you upload the same file somewhere else and share the link here?

There are no instances of your IP address being blocked/challenged by cloudflare over the last 72 hours. You will have to share with us a screenshot of what you are seeing as we are not able to see any issues based on your ip address logs.

This cloudfare checking of human problem seems to be going on for maybe 3 weeks and counting.

And administrators seems to be unable to replicate the problem.

Have any of the administrators gone out to the common user's PC and try to see if he can experience the problem?

How is it that administrators have no inkling at all of the problem, but users are having difficulties attaching images?

Seems to be a very specific issue with cloudflare + mobile ISP's.

Made some changes to the firewall rules. See if you're able to upload now.
