Reimar Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 At one point I had to try 6 times yesterday before the sign-in took. Several times I got signed out unexpectedly. Today's OK. I don't see the point of Captcha security for the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colblimp Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Ah, so it's not just me who has to sign in a gajillion times before I'm in?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brooks Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Captcha itself is not precise, so it trips up those who are more precise. It is a phycological test to keep out the anal retentive. Without captcha there were forum posts by robots advertising how one could be rich by raising cabbages in your garage. When you click on squares do not be exactly precise, and you will probably get in the first try. For instance if there is just a very small edge corner of a street sign occupying only 5% of one square do not click on that particular square, or you will be asked to try again. It was cars for this sign in and I ignored a car in the extreme distance of one square. Technically wrong answer but the right answer for Captcha that let me in first try.

Reimar Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 For me, it was more than just the vagaries of Captcha. I'm sure I got Captcha right at least several times, but then I'm led to the Forum front page still signed out. Or having been signed in, I come back to the forum from other web page tabs and find I'm out again. I have no problem doing Capthca again if I messed one up. I usually get in the second time. This is something more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I often see a login box at the bottom a post even though I'm logged in. If I go to another post it usually goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I had the same problem earlier today but it seems OK now. Ridiculous that it should be so hard just to get into a forum. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 When it happens to me it's usually on the weekend and usually with Safari. I switch to the Chrome browser and it works okay. Edo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to add a third browser. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 What I find recently is that in spite of being logged in, I go back to the forum overview page and it looks like I'm out. But when I click a few things - presto - I'm still in. Instead of endlessly trying to log in, click a few posts and you may find you're back in.
