CAPTCHA problems again

Post Reply New Topic

Ugh, I'm having trouble with the CAPTCHA, particularly with PMs. I spent nearly an hour typing out a PM (using my mobile device), only to be caught by CAPTCHA. So I tried copying my post just in case the CAPTCHA made me lose it all, but it was hard to highlight the whole text without everything else on the whole page being highlighted too, so I just held my finger on the screen and clicked the 'select all' option, then copied and pasted it on to a word document. Then I went through all the CAPTCHA picture selecting thing, only to be told that there's an error or something. So I went back and pasted my text, but then realised that it had selected every single letter and number on the whole page, which was very fiddly to edit out, although I tried my best. But when I finally managed to send the PM I noticed that the paragraphs had got mixed up and some paragraphs were written twice, and lots of other little errors like that.

Like, why should it take all this trouble just to send a PM to somebody? The PM feature sure is not mobile-friendly.

I've always select all my written text and then copy.

I do that too, which is easy when doing a post to a thread. But it's a lot harder copying all the text on a PM because it takes the "select all" option way too literally and copies every single last existing character on the whole page. And manually copying the text on a PM post is almost impossible to do when using a mobile device, as it is very fiddly..,

wait, didn't I just explain all this in my OP?

When I get the captcha and then get my post eaten I can always click back until the posting screen comes back and my post will still be there. At that point hitting submit again works fine.
