I notice that before connecting to this website now we get an interim screen for three seconds or so which states something like "Checking your browser before connecting" and then connects you to this website. What's that all about?

We are connected to CDN (content delivery network) for faster access to our site Worldwide. Now forum and site are shown to users not from one only server but from many different servers around the World. That startup screen is checking which one server will serve your visit to forum.

More information in proper English is here https://www.cloudflare.com/network/

It's irritating and is slightly reminiscent of those browser warnings that say that there's danger at the site you're trying to connect to

is it about Sawatdee? do you see such warning of your browser about Sawatdee? could you please make printscreen? because we have SSL-certificate and browsers should not show such warnings: Sawatdee is totally safe for browsing/posting, data btw your computer and our server transferring in encrypted form, sign of "green lock" shows it, I renew our certificate every 3 month

Yes. I do technical support for GBT, it uses the same CDN.

I see it on a few sites, especially the semi legal/illegal free TV and movie sites. Good to know what it means.

I certainly hope that means you are not taking notes from CDNmatt. He'll probably attempt to have you help him out with his visa problems.
