1) Always, always, always right click your post and copy it.

2) Attempt to post

3) If you get a captcha, click on the appropriate forum topic to generate a new page

4) Click "reply" (again)

5) Paste the text

6) Submit

If you get a captcha after step 6, you should be able to enter it successfully.

I tried this 12 times once and it STILL didn't accept my post.

I gave up.

What the heck is wrong with this place?

The new "I'm not a robot" pictures are annoying.

As long as you've got the text copied, close right out of the tab and open up the site again, then paste it. This gives you a fresh start.

Agreed - the images often seem ambiguous to me, are often too small to see properly, and can be reliant on cultural knowledge that not all of us might possess. This is not necessarily a purely technical issue - it could be seen as excluding people with certain disabilities or cultural differences.
