    11, that's 10+1, solves on one login.

    What if I've never been in a school bus before?

    Does a bumper of a schoolbus count as a schoolbus?

    Seriously. A lot of us getting older and it's getting more and more difficult to read those tiny, fuzzy, photos on Capcha :(

    Lately I keep getting captcha not loading and I can't sign in without solving it or captcha deciding I don't have to. Sometimes I have to refresh several times just to get captcha to load.

    I have never had to do captcha when logging into these forums and just figured it was because I was using Firefox.

    Well, I am also using windows 8.1 on one computer and firefox decided to remove itself from that computer last week. Yep just totally killed itself. No warning just a pop up message telling me its no longer working with 8. Poof all those bookmarks gone. But on to the point:

    I am now using others stuff like Opera, Google, Bandaided Firefox etc. Every single one I am using puts me thru at least 5 captcha. I cannot see those fuzzy things at all.

    I agree, they control the captcha and there is NO need for it on these forums in which the user or posters account is based on their EQ ACCOUNT.......duh

    From my experience, CAPTCHA is only a pain on this board if someone is using a VPN. Of course, that should be most of us, but there it is.

    I guess the board is wondering who that person from Hong Kong is when the same account just had a log in from Amsterdam.

  10. CatsPaws No response to your post cause your on ignore

    Captcha is a pain weather your using a VPN or not. And skipping does not work

    Captcha is supposed to cut down on numerous unwanted posts on sites but does not see to be working in these forums

    Get rid of it. It does nothing but tick off your customers

    I dont have the problem with captcha, but Ive always wondered why I need to log back in to the forum every time I close my browser. Ive seen no other website do this. Just everquest.

    Have not had to answer a captcha in about a year. I have had to click a check mark saying I'm not a robot. (which I guess is a behind the scenes captcha)

    It does not work correctly but I think that Google does offer those captchas for a whole other reason than login protection. They do train an AI programm by feeding it with your selection choices. They even might analyze your behaviour by them and saving it into person profiles that are based on your login data or IP adress.

    nope, no VPN, just Captcha is out of control.

    Yandex dropped Captcha and uses a different version with little pictogtraphs and it asks you to put them in numerical order to solve. MUCH easier to deal with and a better failsafe vs bots.

    Let's try that. Order the point clusters in a numerical order:

    I don't know if I can get this to Daybreak's web developers, but Cloudflare has announced a replacement for CAPTCHAs called Turnstile. Free for everyone.

    https://blog.cloudflare.com/turnstile-ga/

    I think Daybreak should look into this as it appears to be much better than CAPTCHA.

    My personal opinion of Cloudflare is that they are an excellent company with great products.

    Took me 12 school busses, about 5 cars and 7 cats.
    I did it but any other company would lose me at the 2nd schoolbus.
    And yes, it was absolutely insane the hoops I had to go through to pay a company money.
