I mostly work at home. For the past long while, no captcha.
Went to the office today and it was captcha day numerous times.

Captcha this morning. Backed out, backed in, no problemo!
I'm an IT person that has experienced a cyber event so I do understand the purpose. The frustrating implementation is a head scratcher!

Captcha tried several times last night and this morning on both my phone and laptop, but aborted and let me through without having to prove anything.

Still got the ol' tagger on it
I always get a chuckle when folks announce they’re leaving a forum or social media platform.

It often leads to some form of this meme.

I get the captcha thing occasionally (usually in bursts), usually using my work computer (like right now...shhh!)
My work computer is fairly hardened, so no concerns about viruses here. I think it might have to do with how your ISP manages your IP address, and whether it is fixed or randomized.
The Captcha thing is annoying, and would be really nice if it went away.

That thought occurred to me as well, but my office is static/fibre, and my home is DHCP/cable. Kind of backwards to me.

I should be practicing right now.
Mmm... Dana Delaney, though.
Wait—What were we talking about??

Yup!!! She made that movie...I'm willing to put up with Rosie for Dana's scenes.
I should probably post this in the thread I created but....
For the first time ever, I got captcha'd at home last week. Thursday night it happened twice, but was so weird... it popped up on my screen, and after 5-10 seconds went away without me even doing a refresh.
Friday night it popped up again, and this time I had to do the bus shuffle to get through it.
Both times, on my home laptop which has never had it happen before. After I completed a task I was working on both nights, and switched over to my ipad, I never got one and still never have on an ipad or iphone. But now we actually do have people leaving over this. If this doesn't get fixed soon, I'm going to have to resort to more drastic measures. I hate to do this to you guys and you certainly don't deserve it, but the next time I get it, I'm replacing every past and future Julie Bowen pic with a Rosie O'Donnell pic until this is fixed.

Duuuuuuude! Be careful with those Rosie pics you could put someones eye(s) out.

Hans, we shouldn't be losing anyone though. At least not over the frustration of just trying to navigate the forum. They store cookies. Doesn't that tell them we're not spam? Asking again for you, or someone else who has some pull here, to reach out to the powers that be.

I've gotten that one many times, and their ain't no virus here. That is not the solution... I've gotten this soon after logging in here, on days where I had just done my "pc cleaning" and deleted all cookies, etc. So that is not the answer, unfortunately.

Why? It's not hard to notice when a relatively active poster disappears. Many times I'd rather know that someone was gone than worry that maybe something happened too them. I mean, from my previous vacations, it's obvious that everyone knows I am in absolutely perfect health , but especially with the crap floating around in the air now, I'd rather know that someone got ticked, bored, sold their PRS and bought Fenders, or their wife caught them posting Julie Bowen pics in the forum and forbid them to return, than to wonder.

I have been getting them more and more often. Still doesn't compare to the frustration caused by the "Server Error" message I get when I try to edit a post, on a pretty regular basis. That one has caused me to have to just delete and start over more than once, and it is soooo irritating. Both have become far to common around here these days. It still won't drive me to the TGP regardless. I've said it before....nobody needs that kinda negativity in their lives. So no thanks.

Why is this such a problem?
There are a few pictures.
Some have busses in them.
(or whatevers)
"They" want you to click on the pictures
containing the busses (or whatevers).
It takes what, all of 4 seconds?
(unless you don't know what a bus is...)
Is there some sort of supersecretconspiracyplot
behind it that I am totally unaware of??????

Maybe the PRS Forum has the Captchacron Variant of the Covid ;~)) Just needs 3 vaccines, two boosters and 5 layers of masks and it will be safe here!! In all seriousness, sorry to see something like this interfere with something so innocent and simple, but this is our new world dis-order!!!

I've always suspected the Captcha prompts we're somehow related to VPN activity, but never bothered to figure out the specifics. They seem to happen randomly.

That's why I hesitated to post that meme here, and why I didn't post it in response to Poo's original post. It doesn't really apply here - it's more for those people who grab two soapboxes (because one just won't do), work up a serious lather of righteous indignation, pull in a dose of Righteous Brothers, pose in front of their national flag while playing patriotic music and loudly proclaim that they're leaving because "this place" has gone to hell/gone to the dog/ceased to be what it was/lost its way/sold its soul to the devil/sold out/used creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy/used crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy, whatever. There have been posters in the past who've fit the description, usually over a four-month period, but this isn't one of those cases.
