Update on my post of 17 October 2019

My web hosts and I have been carrying out various processes to put a stop to the periods of downtime caused by malicious bruteforce attacks on this site.

You may have noticed the pesky reCaptcha system, asking you to click in the box to prove you are not a robot. I have given it a fair trial, and it definitely did the job, but in my opinion it proved too intrusive; it got in the way of what is supposed be an enjoyable experience of learning your parts.

So I have shown it the door. Instead we have installed something which is invisible to the human eye, but not to those mischievous robots who, once they have seen it, are unceremoniously dismissed before they get the chance to do harm.

The slight downside, which we are working on, is that, together with the other security measures we have put in place, there is an increased chance that you get logged out much more often than you should. We are working on a solution, but I hope that you will be patient with us, and agree that the downside of having to login slightly more often is preferable to having the site down for 2-3 hours per day.
