While I understand the frustration, we do work to minimise interruptions for our legitimate users and that work continues, as well as the provider of CAPTCHA (hCAPTCHA) continually improving their own service to be easier for humans, and more difficult for bots.

They work to minimise interruptions for the legitimate users??? Then why do I get it 9/10 times ( maybe more ) logging in
and
out? I haven't put any additions on my browser...I don't know how to do that.
edit to add: this has been going on for a long time but more regularly over the past couple of months

So, trying to log in, I had to do 3 captchas... then upon clicking "New Thread" button, I was forced to do another captcha, which then logged me out. When trying to log back in, I had to do another 2 captchas.... and then once said thread was made, after doing 5 posts, I was then prompted to do captcha once again.


I've honestly had enough of these forums with all this nonsense. When will captcha be removed????

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

As a human ( one with aging eyesight ) I'm finding the new rivers pics more difficult because
IF
they do include roads I can't tell the difference. I'm just clicking on them due to the orientation of the river . . . or is it a road?? I can't tell. O_o

edit to add: There are also young people with eyesight problems.

I haven't come across any myself that include pictures of roads when it shows the rivers, I'm assuming that's new? Guess I'll have to start paying more attention so I don't click on a road :p

I only seem to get asked to do a CAPTCHA on my phone. Though every time I go to a different network it'll ask me to do a CAPTCHA. Even if I was on that same network the previous day. I'm guessing it's just comparing my current login session on my phone to my previous session and not taking into account whether I was logged in via the same network before that. I'm at work at the moment, so I did my CAPTCHA this morning, but it'll ask me again when I log in on my phone at home even though I was logged in at home on my phone this morning.

I think CAPTCHA has a long way to go before the pros outweigh the cons...

Instead of being surprised when I get a captcha I'm now surprised when I don't. Sadly I very rarely log in or out without seeing those stupid pictures. :( :@ :@ :@


Same!

Although I am quite liking the vertical rivers, makes it so much easier at first glance rather than being tricked by a boat which is on land lol.



Wahhhhh ffs it contains roads!!!!!


I was going by the above post. I don't know if there are roads as well as rivers. I can't see any difference. :P
