Captcha signing in problems.
-
Last few days I've been experiencing problems signing in with the captcha photos....ie they weren't there to select. Subsequently I wasn't able to log in as I hadn't chosen the right ones. The problem tends to be early in the morning as when I try later, the photos magically reappear. Anyone else been experiencing any problems?

Just now, I clicked on "I am not a robot" but no photos appeared for me to pick out the boats, traffic lights or other blurry things! So, I just clicked log in and I was in! Other times I have to go through 2 sets of photos before it lets me in!
Next it will be the 3 questions in Monty Python and The Holy Grail:

Look for a button or something that says "Skip" or a message of some type (basically a next page )
on the next set you will have to identify ( you cannot hit skip again as a guess, unless there are no matches).
it is worth a try - I cannot say if it will work all the time or not.
No pictures: can you still click the box - I am not a robot?
Or click "log in" or are those not there?

I only get the "I am not a robot" at sign in. I only got the captcha pics one or two times.

I am guessing and reaching ...The only time it says SKIP is if there are no pics of whatever they are asking you to pick. Then you get another set of photos. Today again I just had to check "I am not a robot" and it let me log right in! Maybe after a certain number of logins they don't make you do the captcha pics.

Thanks guys for your replies. It seems pretty random if I get the photos or even if I need to get them, a lot of times I can just check the I am not a robot' box and I can log in. But other times I clearly should be seeing the photos but they're not appearing and then by just checking the 'robot' box isn't enough and my log in fails. Its been okay today anyway.

I can't believe the hoops I had to just jump through to get on here this time! I think there were 5 pages where I had to identify fire hydrants, traffic lights and buses!! 🤬

I think sometimes the image of a bus or a traffic light very slightly overlaps into another square and if you don't highlight that square then you have to go onto the next photo. I know I've been caught out a few times because of that tiny overlap.

I haven't had to identify photos in quite awhile. I shouldn't have said anything... cos now it'll happen to me.

I always do the overlap (better to check too many squares than not enough!) Today was only 2 pages. First one was a skip.

I occasionally get those skip ones too. Today its been the 'hills' one. All a bit of a flaff but its doing the job as its keeping most (but not all) of those spambots out.
