That's probably what actually fixed the connection problems here. I don't see how the "verifying you are human" thing could have anything to do with it, since this site worked fine the vast majority of the time for 7 years without the "verifying you are human" thing. It's also turning out to be more obnoxious than I yet realized when I started this thread, since it does it every time you haven't clicked on a link here for a certain, and not very long, amount of time, even though you're still logged in and obviously still just as human as you were 20 minutes ago or however long it takes for it to think your human status has expired.
If the "verifying you are human" thing is, for whatever reason, deemed necessary, it should only need to be done once for any given device / IP address.
The connection problems of the past couple of weeks were probably caused, at least in part, by shady/misbehaving ad servers (I'm looking at you, Taboola).
