Captcha problems

I understand why Captcha was added, due to attacks on the site, but it's making the site virtually unusable for me. I have to redo Captcha in between every single page I open. So, I click on, say, "Site Feedback"---I have to do Captcha to open it. Then if I want to read a topic---have to do Captcha to open that topic. If that topic is two pages long---have to do Captcha to get to Page 2.

My IP address has not changed. I'm not running any software that should explain it (e.g., I'm not blocking my IP address).

The strangest part is that I don't have to log back in each time, so the site itself recognizes me, but it still requires Captcha every time I click on anything. Even if I get a notification of a reply on a thread that I'm following, I have to do Captcha to open my notifications, and then I have to do it AGAIN in order to open the thread itself. I had to do it to click  on "New Topic," and I'm sure I'll have to do it again to submit this topic.

Are there any plans to remove Captcha once the attacks stop? It's maddening.

 
Thank you to bring this to my attention.

To be honest i have no knowledge of this problem.

I would like to hear if other members also have this problem.

In the mean time the attacks are stopped ( but like we all know it can start again any time )

I have lowered the security possible your problem is gone now.

Thanks! That does seem to have taken care of it!

Knock on wood, anyway....I haven't gotten the Captcha the last couple times I've clicked on something....

I was curious, too, to see if others were having the same problem, but it was so frustrating to try to look through the forum with that happening that I just started a new thread.

But, yeah, I've now clicked on probably five different pages or so and I haven't been getting the Captcha every time anymore.

Thanks for taking care of it! 🥰

 
Ironically enough, when I went to post that last message, I DID get the Captcha again! But I can handle getting it once in a while, just not every single click! I'll follow up again if it seems to still be happening a lot.

 
For the past few days I'll click to log in then it will send me to the Captcha screen. I complete it then it sends me back tonthe log in screen again and I have to re enter the info. Not a huge deal but figured I'd mention since it's related here.

 
@Dissolve That is normal Captcha protection behavior. Usually it will ask for captcha again if you are signing in or trying to sign up.  This help mitigate bots and ddos stuff i think.

 
@DoomKitty I know but it used to only have me sign in once. Now it's 2 times, 1 before Captcha and again after Captcha. It's not a big deal but it just started the duplication a few days ago. Last week I would click sign in and the Captcha would appear first then I could sign in.

 
ohhhhhh sorry.  i thought you were saying it made you do captcha twice, not sign in twice! That is very odd.

  3. 3 @ 3ak: 4f-mph dried up?
  4. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  5. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  6. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  8. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  9. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  10. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  11. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  12. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  13. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  14. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  15. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  17. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  18. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  19. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
  20. O @ oh be g: btw these are actual good practices and help greatly if u form as a habit
