In case you missed it, here is the communication:

M@X says the complete removal of CAPTCHA cannot be recommended because of some vicious threats online.

Now he's changed CAPTCHA frequency from "high" or "off" to "medium" ... we should keep an eye upon it for a while.

There's a possibility that it even was not his own decision but eventually a demand from the host company holding the servers for the site/forum.
Anyone more IT can confirm if these security measures are happening around the net or just an unfounded speculation on my part.
Anyway, the lack of communication is deplorable imo

As I posted before many times, he has explained whats going on, if people don't want to accept or belive what he says, then they can continue to do just that.

Yes, Max is my friend on FB and I contacted with him about this but to no avail.

I could finally do some editing, apparently the browser was indeed loading the cacheed version of the page instead of the updated one. But the CAPTCHA thing sucks anyways...

Wait, Gerard, maybe it's simply the case of the former page being cached by your browser - try to refresh the page (on the proper browser button, you should know, sorry) and see if the updated info comes alive.

Just a thought - hope it works, pal Big smile

I'm not able to edit my entries because of these f*kng CAPTCHAS, I do all the "click on the squares with vehicles", "click all the square with road signs" etc etc and no way, the CAPTCHA screen will give no error and jump to the PA page but my entry will not show the update. Funnily enough, if I then click again to "edit my entry" my updated text is still displayed there, but not on the actual PA page.

It's long since I did not post in PA but if it's going to mean having to deal with this CAPTCHA b*sht I will stay away for another 4 years....

That's truly a statement only someone who lives in a country that has decriminalized drugs could've stated LOL

I have learned to "overcome" this nonsense but FOND OF IT?!!!! I can't believe i just read those words Shocked

Patiently waiting for this to be resolved. Some days are buggier than others. THere's is no rhyme or reason to this and there has to be a better way. 

Maybe we just need to train the robots to improve the site instead of attack it LOL

I face it as an opportunity to see the world on pictures without leaving the sofa, who can blame me ? Clown

(Now seriously guys, no need to let it eat our inner peace, chill out and let's hope Max deals with it asap, by now he can't ignore our massive discontentment)

I have been on somewhat of a break from PA during the last year or so only popping by occasionally, and now that I am drawn back and genuinely want to chit chat and perhaps even do a review or two - this capcha nonsense completely ruins the experience. 
No I will never get used to this (nor fond of it - what have you been smoking José?LOL)

 
The max I went though is for stages, and that was yesterdayCensored... and it ended up denying me access OuchDeadNukePig
