Captcha and the buses!

7 replies

Geamhradh · 15/10/2021 18:42

Since lunchtime today before I can post, or even access the site from my phone I have to go through about 6 identical captchas (buses, then buses, then boats x 2) and am told "Mumsnet is checking your browser". This also happens if I write, then click the "post" button. I have to find the buses (twice) first.
I'm very busy with Covid conspiracy theorists, I haven't got time to find buses!
I'm on the bogstandard website, not the app or mobile site. Ta!

I'd love to track down the main complaint office for Captcha. They drive me crazy.

Yeah when you're like "is that a traffic light? Does half a bus count? Wtf is that picture?" Grin Let alone the written ones that look like the alphabet written by a very very drunk doctor

I don't mind the odd one, but this must be somd weird glitch, I'm getting between 4 and 6 identical ones (the buses stay in the same place each time) before every post. Confused

Hey OP.

Thanks for letting us know about this. We hear your Captcha pain but this does sound a bit above and beyond usual frustrations.

Can you let us know if you are on an android or iphone. Also, if it's just happening on some threads rather than all of them, if you could send over a link to the thread that would be great too.

Thanks for your patience here.

It seems to have resolved itself! It hasn't happened at all today (chuh! You wait all day for a bus ..Grin)
I'll let you know if 3 turn up again.

Thanks for letting us know it looks to be sorted. Any more problems with this then drop us a line.
