Ouch

So you guys have to do a Captcha just to post in a thread?   I didn't have to.  Is it just random and occasional?

Maybe they're just trying to weed some of us out. I've been having issues with this site for quite some time. Sometimes it takes like 20 times of refreshing before i can post in the forums but i've perservered and still here. Life in the promised land of the internet. Ain't it grand?

Lol! Seven attempts last night before I got a new suggestion accepted without the 'Access Denied' error wiping it out (I did save it though before my first attempt). And if that wasn't bad enough, I'd forgotten to include the progfreak link. Must have been close on 20 attempts before the edit finally went through. The site is completely broken for me at the moment...and I've tried wiping cookies, clearing the cache, restarting the browser, logging out and back in again - all to no avail. Its just down to pot luck whether or not I'm able to post anything at the moment. Unhappy

Edit:  But this one went thorough first time after solving the captcha! Hallelujah! Big smile

Edit 2: But not the edit...it was rejected after a series of about 10 captchas. Ouch

Captcha? Sodding goat-sucking Chupacabras more like.

What can I do to prevent this in the future?

If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware.

Piss off.
What?

Geez...LOL  It really does sound like it is time for the dark lords of the PA underbelly to sit Max down in a windowless room, with coffee and cigarettes aplenty, and have that long heart to heart talk.

From the sound of some posts of this thread, cigarettes and coffee may well be replaced with baseball bat and knee caps *chuckles*

It is a bloody annoying feature though.

Well that's the next step OlavLOL

But seriously, what is the effing plan around here?  Is the site ever going to be fixed up to standards, or, is it going to just be allowed to decline into a site that barely function technically?  It really is past time that this is addressed.  People have and continue to put a lot of their time into this site and have to be asking, is the site's performance ever going to be up to snuff?

^ Up to snuff would be a luxury; right now I'd take being able to post without playing tick-tack-toe with a robot-killer.   And now my search function is gone--  completely blown.

BTW, I just had to confirm I'm not a robot when updating a band via the admin section (it went through smoothly though).

And I begged the God of PA for mercy but I wasn't heard... Cry
