I thought the problem of repeated logins and "recapcha" was well behind us, but suddenly I am being asked to login at least twice a week. I haven't had any Windows or browser updates which might have triggered this.
Even stranger, when I logged in a couple of minutes ago I got a request to "prove I am human". I was asked to give the answer to "10 + 5" and there was a scroll-down menu which presumably is meant to offer a list of possible answers, but it didn't actually show anything. So I ignored it and got logged in OK without proof of my advanced mathematical skills, but it is a pretty weird alternative to "recapcha" and I wonder why it has popped up now.
Next time around it might ask me to solve a quadratic equation or Fermat's last theorem and I could be a bit stymied.
Any other geniuses out there having to deal with the same problem?
Well, the problem with an "entry test" of this kind is that some of us can grasp the basic concept but can only apply it in practice at a fairly modest level.
my "prove you`re you" prompt has come up two or three times in the last month or so.....I just click on through,prepared to tell the arresting officer that I didn`t see the guardhouse......"be careful out there" boys
I've run into the very same problem. It seemed to begin, for me, when the auctions went live. I'll see if I can find out what happened. Fortunately, none of it seems to have kept me from signing in so far.

Good heavens, David. Have you been doing this every time? It was a very frequent problem when the new Forum format started up, but for most of us logging in has become very infrequent (at least until the last few weeks. when it seems to have started pestering some of us again). At least the dreaded "recapcha" was disabled, but now the maths question has started appearing. Let's hope that is just another temporary quirk.
