Also, there are some other players from Saudi Arabia on the server. Did you talk with them for discover if the problem is only with you?

Your country may restrict or require this type of verification, I'm not sure.

Anyway, the answers from the admins are more reliable than mine.

Yes, I am already asked them and they have the same issues and they avoid that by using a VPN

You are using HTTP right now, that's why your browser tells you it isn't secure. Many websites automatically send you to the HTTPS-version if you use the HTTP-version, but this forum doesn't. The cause of not loading images is probably caused by that, because modern browsers refuse loading images from HTTP sources sometimes. So please try to use https://forum.city-driving.co.uk instead of http://forum.city-driving.co.uk .

This can be a solution to the issue of images etc. not loading, but it doesn't solve that it keeps asking for your country. That's on purpose to avoid DDoS-attacks because some time ago sadly many attacks were initiated to TC's server from Saudi Arabia.

I would first like to thank you for the temporary solution you gave me, but I am looking for a permanent solution to get the best experience in the TC forums. Unfortunately, I know why the browser checks Saudi Arabian servers because previously, forums were getting DDoS by Saudi users, and I also had no problems in the past. But nowadays, issues prompted me to create this thread as there are issues preventing me from freely browsing the forum.
