Just got another replying to another PM. It seems to hit virtually every PM I reply to if I quote the senders text.

I'm currently working on a PM, including quotes, and get challenged on every preview.
I started this before Alex said that some changes were made - I don't yet know if I'm being challenged because I'm running on the same connection session with WP or if the changes don't have an effect here.
I see another PM has arrived so I guess I'll find out as I reply to that. :lol:

That said, I'm not being challenged on this post and wasn't when submitting my last one above.

Testing, testing, testing... No captcha on preview or posting... nor on editing.

Damn! Just got hit with another captcha quoting someone else's post. :evil: So it still isn't fixed.

Let me see if I get one on this try.

No, that time, it worked fine.

Added the quote of nominalist's post - I am now challenged on every preview.

I was briefly able to preview the PM I mentioned above without challenges - this worked two or three times yet despite making no changes, I am once again challenged on every preview.

ETA: also challenged on submission.

It is off and on.

Possible connection: The captchas started at the same time as I started getting those "script busy" messages popping up on Firefox

I have seen no such errors though, yet I'm challenged at practically every turn.

I am being challenged whether I quote or not, although initially I could bypass it by not quoting.

Edit: Cloudflare spites me by not challenging this post. Well played, Cloudflare.

I have had it a few times since the changes. I have noticed that if I press the audio button, it just refreshes the text one.

I wonder if there is a correlation between post frequency and captcha challenges. I haven't been getting many of them as my WP activity is evenly spaciated thorough the day, but some days ago when I was very active for a while I got them at every post, edit or pm.
