Title: Captcha
Post by: TheVengeance on Tue, 24 May 2016, 06:26:29

Honestly, I really find posting here quite annoying.

The user experience on mobile is bad enough but the quality of the captcha image is always so bad it takes multiple attempts every time.

Can we not use recapture or something a bit more forgiving?

Keep posting it'll go away soon enough.

Went away for me at 10 posts. Just keep posting good content and you should be a-ok. :D

I wonder if it is 10 posts that count, or 10 posts overall (given that posting in some areas of the forum don't affect your post count)?

I'm not sure. My guess is that it would be tied to post count, rather than number of posts.

In any case, it goes away fairly quickly. Are you posting on mobile using your device's browser, or the Tapatalk app?

I was beginning to wonder if the captcha went away after a while as well.  Having a red-green color deficiency doesn't help deciphering the letters.

Ironically, after that post, the captcha prompts went away.

At or after 10 posts, it seems.

That's not really ironic
