Default Captcha

I've been trying to upload screenshots recently and I keep running into a captcha challenge. What's going on?

I've tried repeatedly to upload a G36C screenshot for the SOCOM 4 page, but every attempt leads to the captcha and I can't upload even after completing it. It just sends me back to the blank upload screen.

Captcha has seemed to have gone away. Does anyone still have to go through the challenge?

Seems to have for me. I was finally able to upload that screenshot without issue.

I think it's back. I just had to go through it three times in a row. It makes you do it for previews as well.

It seems to come and go. It was on this morning (eastern time) but by around noon, it went away, but now it's back.

I hadn't had it before, but I just had it for every edit I tried to do, along with for every preview as well. The preview tab in the edit window doesn't work either, it just says "loading" and displays the previous version rather than updating.

Edit: I have never actually scrolled down to the bottom of the captch page to read their advice about how to stop the captcha from appearing, which is "If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware". I take it this is absolute bollocks right and i don't have a problem with my computer? Firstly I doubt that all the people who are suddenly having a problem have all suddenly contracted malware, secondly my main computer I use for editing runs on Linux, and thirdly I get the error on multiple computer with different operating systems (one of which is wasn't even connected to the internet before I tried this). I have even gotten the error at different IP adresses. I assume that as this has suddenly happened with no change to the IMFDB security setting, would it be safe to assume that this is a Cloudflare f**k up?
