For the love god, PLEASE STOP with the CAPTCHA.

There is always something going wrong with this site, every few months or so. It gets kind of annoying. I wonder if any other Autism sites have this problem?

I am a bit passionate about how I present my posts, and I hate them to not make sense or have a spelling mistake or miss something out, so usually I go back to edit it a couple of times (because I can't be bothered to read through my post before submitting, I just seem to manage to catch mistakes after I have submitted even if I haven't read it), then I have to keep having to enter the letters in CAPTCHA which is taking up time.

I sometimes laugh at the random words they have in the letters you CAN read (it said my name once). But I hate the other one with the twisted letters. I really cannot read them.

If we all got together and made supplemental site donations, could that pay for better software so as to get rid of this problem? (Willing to donate more for this specific purpose)

Try eliminating use of the quote metatag

CloudFlare have made some changes to fix this and in my (admittedly brief) testing they seem to be effective - I'm not getting prompted with CAPTCHAs anymore. Could other people report their experience? Are you still getting the CAPTCHA or not?

I haven't been getting them over the past two days. I hope that it stays that way.

Testing with quote... If I do not come back and add a remark in this post, to say that Captcha came up, I didn't get it this time. I just posted without it in another thread; first time in a week without getting it. Maybe CloudFail mitigated it a bit, or hopefully fixed it

Lets hope it doesnt come back

Test no. 2; above worked fine!

I didn't mention before, and maybe it has something to do with why some members were stymied by it, and others didn't seem to have it come up at all; I have a peculiar form of ISP. When I'm in SoCal (Ventura County), we have a microwave relay radio ISP because we have no cable or phone out here, and cell towers are sparse. So our house is on top of a hill about 7 miles as the crow flies, from the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley. We use a private ISP called GoCreative, and they put a radio transponder on the Reagan Library, and we are a relay station for them at our house, which provides us with broadband internet and relays it to 5 or 6 other farm houses west of here. So the result of that is that our IP address comes up different every log-on, and often shows different cities (Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Santa Paula, or even Port Hueneme). This is a "trunked" system, which means that when we log on, we get on the first available IP address. I know that this issue has caused me to get bombed off certain sites such as the bank and some online purchase situations, as I guess it flags something if you show two IP addresses in two cities at the same time.

No Captchas here, either.
We should throw a party !
I'll bring the bouncy castle...

... I'll bring a camera to captcha the moment.

Good, I think we can officially call this "fixed" then. Whatever issues CloudFlare may have, their support is pretty good, I have to give them that!

What's CAPTCHA?

Consider yourself very lucky if you don't know! They are those annoying misshapen words that you have to type in correctly to gain access to something or to make a post or send a PM. We've been plagued with them lately.

More than two years later, it is still a problem.
