CAPTCHA limits post lengths and prevents post formatting

Post Reply New Topic

I am unable to submit any posts greater than two paragraph long. I am also unable to format my posts by adding bold or italics, AND I am unable to quote from other people's posts, so it's unclear what part of their post I am addressing. I am also forced to break up one long post into multiple shorter posts.

I don't see anyone else's post also being limited to merely two paragraphs or lacking in any formatting. People also seem perfectly able to quote multiple parts of someone else's post. Help !

Getting around CAPTCHA is tricky. Usually what I do is, first I submit my post, then when the "Oops!" page comes up I hit the back button in my browser, then I hit submit again, fill in the CAPTCHA, and it lets me post. YMMV however, as I believe this has something to do with cookies, and I have my browser set to block a lot of things.

Yeah, we already have a thread about this, and there are lots and LOTS of people experiencing this----and, I don't think it has anything to do with cookies, and I think most people have things blocked; yet, some can post with no problem, and others can't. The WORST part is, the SPAMMERS are still able to post!!

Gee ... that's too bad.

Okay, I made a thread about this. It should work:

It's worse now.

I not only have to go through a rubric of identifying which pictures are a particular fruit, roadway object, or part of a well-balanced diet, I have to back out, go back to my post, and do it all over again.

What bothers me more than anything is that I'm in one case supposed to answer which picture is of an orange. They had a picture of both one orange and many oranges - I took this as a question of 'an' orange and got it wrong.

Similarly you had different types of informational signs along a road way - yellow diamond, animal crossing or truck signs, whatever else and I was supposed to select all blocks that had street signs; lol, there were no street signs! I promptly hit okay after selecting nothing and got that wrong as well!

I'm starting to think this CAPTCHA programmer built the multiple-choice tests in some of my 101 college classes!

I just submitted a full-page, multi-paragraph post without any problem.

What am I doing wrong?

It must smell frankincense on my clothes.
