For the love god, PLEASE STOP with the CAPTCHA.

Ugh, I did get a CAPTCHA this time in firefox too, but filling the CAPTCHA in correctly did get me through it for once.

This happens to me periodically.

I log out. go to about:blank to get away from the website. clear my private data completely (cache, browsing history, passwords, everything), log back in and that seems to resolve the problem.

It happens to me too and is driving me mad. It doesn't do it with every post but it does it a lot.

I'm no good at reading the words with the crooked letters. Just now I didn't know if one was two ''I'''s together or a small ''n'', so I randomly typed anything just to jump on to the next word, which was luckily a little easier to read. How do Dyslexic people cope with this?

I got it a few times yesterday using Firefox. Absolutely loathe CAPTCHA and think it is unnecessary on this forum, haven't seen many spambots. Spambots are probably better dealt with during the registration process instead of after every post. Cloudfront seems to cause issues like this every few months for me, first time seeing CAPTCHA here.

I've never had to enter a CAPTCHA when posting, although I'm occasionally redirected to a CloudFlare page and asked to enter one when making adjustments to my profile.

I'm getting them on FireFox & my droid. I have ar hard time with em too due to dylexia & low vision. I guess for the letters I'm not sure of & do it again if it's wrong. My post have been staying after they get posted thou. I understand that these things help prevent spambots but the spammers find ways around them. There should be a way to set it so new users get it more & the members who've reached a certain rank/post level quit getting them.

I've just had to wade through all that CloudFlare captcha crap too just to get access to the site and it took around 5 attempts. If I get hassled with much more, WP will be needing a new moderator / site admin because I'll be gone. I'll only put up with so much crap like that. CloudFlare sucks bad.

Another little secret, you only need to get one of the two words correct. The other word is just some random crap they are trying to make you decipher for free. For those who don't know how it works, watch this video.

That still doesn't change the fact, that CAPTCHA has no business being on a website designed for people who already have issues and don't need more. As others have pointed out it is discriminatory against people who have reading disorders, and will not be able to decipher the CAPTCHA. Which is probably more then a few users of this site.

This does not happen on other forums I post to.

I just had my first encounter with the WP Captcha today. Please make it stop, or at least configure the thing to bypass users with over 100 legitimate posts here. I have been a member here since 2005, and I have over 3000 posts, which should be sufficient to prove that I'm not using the forum to tell Wrong Planet about wy wonderful new debt reconsolidation scheme that not only improved my credit, but gave me DD cup breasts as well.

I seem to have finally stumbled into Captcha H#ll as well.

Pleaaaaase, I am begging you... just make it stop.... I have been being gangbanged by Captchas all evening and night.

Now I just got this.

Seriously.... just.... what !?!?!?!?
What does this forum want from me ?

Oh,for the love of fuckanoodle .... I have to type both words into each Captcha for it to work, as well.
And it won't even tell me whether it's going to crap out on smilies or BBcode until after I decipher its one coherent words and whatever the hideous indecipherable smudge is next to it.

ETA : F*ckanoodle is a swearword ?
Really ? But... I only just made it up !

AUGH ! fuckitty sh*****g pastard of fucktardedness.
I swear this forum is deliberately winding me up now.

It just made me do three Captchas in a row when trying to make a post (not including the preview Captcha), then barfed this out -

Does this forum even *have* themes ?
If it does, then I'm not using anything special.

Then did the same thing, resulting in this -



(holds head and sobs uncontrollably)

But there is no posting mode... you just say you want to post... and that's it... what on earth does this forum expect of me ?

Those words catch on quicker than you'd think..
Now excuse me while I decipher my next code...

And now it's "error in posting" ... this seems to be the only topic I can manage to battle through Captchas at all, so please excuse my little outburst in the previous post I made. In order to avoid stabbing myself to death in frustration I will go to bed now, and save all of the posts I was trying to make out to post tomorrow.

(>,<) PLEASE though.... for crying out loud, is there NO way to deal with all of these appalling glitches.... or at least make both of the Captcha words possible to read ; because I find that half the time they look like a sneeze instead of letters.

Haha !

I wish you good luck in your noble quest to defeat the evil Captcha infestation !
