Hi all, I have a problem with a very recent forum feature: one has now to select images to prove one is not a robot. I´m very shortsighted so I can´t always distinguish all the objects and the tool is very insistent, ofering more and more images. This is time robbing and irritating. I feel hampered by this feature and would appreciate help. Thanks! | | | New feature? | Dec 26, 2017 |
What you are saying is very weird. It has never happened to me and I have never heard of such a new feature. Have you checked to log in before entering the fora? | | | ph-b (X) France Local time: 13:59 English to French + ... | Samuel Murray Netherlands Local time: 13:59 Member (2006) English to Afrikaans + ...

They're a waste of time (for the user). I faithfully click all the e.g. street signs or cars or houses or whatnot, but the captcha system is not satisfied until I've spent 2-3 minutes doing this. I've learnt not to bother. When a web site requires this, I click the X. When it's something I really, really want to enter, I disconnect and reconnect the VPN. | |

How about check your browser setting? Ive also never experienced that. | | | Mario Chavez (X) Local time: 07:59 English to Spanish + ... What worries me | Dec 26, 2017 |
What I find worrisome in Danik's account is that he is shortsighted, a not-so-uncommon condition for many of us after we turn 40. I wear bifocals, for instance, but I have never encountered the “I'm not a robot” anywhere on Proz. Danik, I would check the browser's security settings and write a support ticket to Proz.com Good luck! | | | Danik 2014 Brazil German to Portuguese + ...

Hi, Thank you all very much for your comments and suggestions. I not going to answer anyone individually as I usually do, because just now I had to pass though the capcha verification again, some 7 or 8 pages before the system was satisfied.

" Yes, that is exactly what happens, Samuel and Proz, is a page I enter at least once a day. The first thing I learnt from your answers is that it doesn´t affect all Proz users alike. That at least another Proz member is affected one can learn from the thread ph-b linked to this discussion. Thank you for leading the thread to this one. Maybe there is a relation to the warnings of a "not secure connection" I got before and which I learnt to ignore. I don´t know if this has to do with my browser connections, as Mario suggests. I was hoping and still do that a monitor might explain if there has been any changes in the security system of the site. ▲ Collapse | | | Amlaku Eshetie United States Local time: 05:59 English to Amharic + ...

Guys, I am also experiencing the same since these two days. It is really annoying although I may understand that it could be for my own security! | |

In a not-so-distant future we will all need to constantly prove to each other that we are not robots. Not via captcha, I hope. Perhaps we will be asked to violate one of Asimov's laws? | | | Michele Fauble United States Local time: 04:59 Member (2006) Norwegian to English + ... I'm not a robot | Dec 26, 2017 |
I have to do the same every time I log on. I delete cookies whenever I leave the site, maybe that's why. In any case, very annoying new feature. | | | ph-b (X) France Local time: 13:59 English to French + ...

It seems they really fixed the problem, because for the first time in days I was able to enter the forum without the verification. Many thanks to the webmaster or to who fixed it. | |

It is harrassing, dark images so you can´t distinguish the objects they want you to choose. I´m going to open a support ticket. I suggest you and every one affected do likewise. | | | Pages in topic: [1 2] > | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Why do I have to prove that I´m not a robot every time I want to enter the forum?
