Cannot access encodeproject.org due to endless human verification challenge

[bentyeh]

Hello,

For the past week, I have been trying to access encodeproject.org, but the human verification screen leaves me in an endless loop. Here’s a screen recording of the problem: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eLTFSq7m7ejYikU5F_wA2EiKA12ahKHp. (This is me, a human, operating my computer; no AI agent is involved.) This occurs across multiple browsers, multiple computers, and multiple networks (e.g., home vs. work).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(I apologize if this is the wrong place for such a support request. If there is a different channel or contact address where I should direct site access issues, please let me know.)

Thanks for the report. We have seen this before but have been unable to reliably reproduce. Can you share more info about which browser (and version) you are using, and if it happens with private browsing on/off?

For future reference you can also email encode-help@lists.stanford.edu for help.

Also worth trying https://www.encodeproject.org, not just https://encodeproject.org.

The screen recording was performed using Microsoft Edge v150 in Guest mode (i.e., default settings: no extensions, no ad-blocking, default cookie/tracking protection settings) on macOS.

Over the past week, I've also tried using Microsoft Edge in my personal profile, Firefox v153, and Safari v26.6, without any success. At least one of my lab mates was also having similar issues (I don't remember what browser they used.)

Thanks for your suggestions. Somehow, going to https://www.encodeproject.org just now instead of https://encodeproject.org allowed me to access encodeproject.org after passing 2 challenges (Edge browser). This is the first time I've successfully accessed encodeproject.org in a week!
