J-rap Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Maybe this will change your opinion: -- very cool! :) Ha! We must've posted at the same time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 :) Good grief, though -- are we now going to have to do a Captcha every time we post and even when we edit our own posts? I can see a lot less posting if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 WHen I am getting them they are not even showing a word to be copied so I am losing almost all the posts I am trying to make as a result. Ticking me right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflections Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 IF I have to do a captcha EVERY SINGLE time I post, I just won't ever post. I don't have time much less patience for that kind of thing and I bet good money that there will be lots of posters who have something very valuable to say but who won't and the quality of this wonderful forum will take a nosedive!!

Joker Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm not getting them at all. I did several months ago but none now. ETA: Ha! I didn't have one with my original post, but I did when I tried to edit. Yeah, I don't like them and would hate to have to do it every time.

HRAAB Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I've gotten one every time I've tried to post. This is not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Ugh. Definitely makes posting difficult. I guess I wouldn't mind the captchas so much if they were simple, but I had to struggle to read the letters, and on top of that it was two words.

Mabeline Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Ahh, ok. The really annoying thing is after I entered the words, it kicked me out of the chat forum and I ended up at the main menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex-mex Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 So, does this mean my PC isn't infected?? The message on the CAPtCHA page on the lower right said to run a malware... wot the??? :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbeym Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm glad I'm not the only one that got a captcha today. I've only gotten one though, and I'm not going to try to edit to see if I can get more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The mobile site has been acting up for me, but no captchas. It just keeps signing me out when I try to go to a new page or post a reply. Not every time, just randomly. I'll see what happens when I post this... ETA - No problem. ETA#2 - Sure enough, I had to pass the captcha screen to edit. Hope this is temporary.

Forget-Me-Not Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I haven't seen one. Posting now to test. ETA: none for me the first time, but I did have to to edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Syne Boardie Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Late to the party. Testing. Edited to add: no captcha this time Edited to add: ARRGGGH it did it when I tried to post the edit! And I had to refresh it three times until I got one I could even see. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Syne Boardie Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 aaaand I had to do it gain when I posted the next update. I decided to inform you all of this very important event in a new post in the hopes that I will not be captured by the captcha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hmm... I've never gotten a captcha when I've posted or edited. ETA: editing ETA 2: yep, got one. Strange because I edited a couple of posts earlier today and didn't get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 So, does this mean my PC isn't infected?? The message on the CAPtCHA page on the lower right said to run a malware... wot the??? :glare: I'm getting the same screen tonight. OFTEN. This is beyond irritating! :glare: Honestly, I wouldn't mind if I knew about it in advance, and that there was a specific reason for it, but I got worried when it first happened to me, because I thought it might be a virus or something. A little heads-up would have gone a long way!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Can the mods somehow make it so us heavy posters (say over 500 posts, or a member for >1 yr) never see captchas? I got my first one just now, and it freaks me out! I hate those dang things!! I'd pay $5 for an annual membership that is captcha-free! Or, allow ads on the banner of the site, and use the income to pay more mods? Please, please make the captchas go away!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfknitter.# Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Why can't there be a heads up for things like this? I feel like WTM rolls out gradual changes that are akin to the obnoxious ones on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I had a captcha last night on editing a post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I tried a few times on different threads. It doesn't ask for a captcha if I just use this quick reply box. It asks for a captcha if I try to edit my post or try to quote another person. The weirdest thing is, I cannot actually see any captcha text! So I cannot edit my posts, quote anyone or send a PM. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I got 2 in a row this morning on another thread. It took 7 tries for the first one because I can't make the letters out. Then I realized the auto correct was changing the letters. Then to add insult to injury, the thing did not post my comment. There's gotta be a better way.
