Ok so I spent nearly AN HOUR composing a reply to one of the threads in the GAD forum. It was a good post, very expressive, and I couldn't wait to finally submit. Then just as I pressed submit, I realized I had forgotten to copy the text I had spent so long writing out. And the ugly "just one more step" CAPTCHA s**t came up but I pressed back, so that I could return to my post and select copy to keep it safe, then just as I was about to copy, my browser closed before I copied it. I'm on my android phone by the way, as I don't have access to a computer at the moment. My browser does that sometimes on my phone when these CAPTCHA pops up because I think it confuses the phone browser so it closes down. I went to my history to get back to the post but the text had gone forever.

So thanks a lot f*****g CAPTCHA you have wasted nearly an hour of my time. I've had enough of this CAPTCHA s**t. I can't even post PMs properly because of it. It is really frustrating spending such a long time creating a post only to lose it all. And it's not like the CAPTCHA even works because the bots still get through and clog up the forum, but yet it's like trying to hack into the governments top secret files to genuine users like us.

Owner of Wrong Planet, sort it out please. You're infuriating everybody who posts frequently here, and yet nothing seems to get done about it.

Rant over.

i remember getting a complete block, not just a captcha when i was using a mod tool, PMs and post containing that same text were blocked too. frustrating to say the least, after the longest time of fiddling with the text trying to determine what was prompting the block i had to send a PM containing a screenshot of the text i meant to send.

i was bitter. i'm sorry it happened, sometimes we have to get creative with the site as it is.

i experienced lots of problems last year using the site via google chrome on ios.
