The By the People technical team has been working hard on the bot issue that been causing problems on the website since last week.

We made an update to the website yesterday morning (EST) that hopefully will help with the save and reservation errors many of you have reported. Please let us know if you have noticed a difference since then!

  • I am seeing fewer save and reserve errors this week
  • I am seeing more save and reserve errors this week
  • I am seeing the same amount of save and reserve errors
  • I have not been having issues

Issues saving or reserving pages this week

Things are definitely better. No bot issues since the latest IT changes last week, and I am having fewer “403/forbidden” errors today.

I do have to click a box to prove I’m human periodically (every 20-30 minutes?), but that is fine.

What has happened is that I have no pages hijacked so that I could not work on them. What has happened instead is that if I spend too much time on a page, I cannot save it. So, I copy my text, refresh the page and then paste my text and save it.

Same with me! Also, switching to another tab while working on a page definitely causes it to lock up. I use the same copy-refresh-paste system as do others.

Seems to be better than it was, I have gotten in the habit of saving more frequently, but I don’t feel I am getting the unable to reserve page error less.

I am still having the same problem today - unable to reserve and unable to save
