ECF LMS and Cloudfare

Post by Roger de Coverly » Sun May 10, 2026 5:39 pm

Has anyone else found the ECF LMS site unavailable?

It seesm they have implemented the Cloudfare security check . That's all very well and I've seen it at other sites.

However when it hangs at
lms.englishchess.org.uk
Performing security verification

it's just locking people out.

It can take a a short time to verify, but for me it always connects in the end.

Slow to connect but ok for me too.

I've taken a screenshot of the Berks League results just in case we lose LMS access and need to check if Crowthorne have won Division One..

I used the LMS earlier, but can't connect now; is it just me?

No, it isn't just you. I see from my inbox that people are working on it. It isn't just the LMS.
