Am I the only person that's getting security captcha's when posting competitions to MSE?

Luckily it hasn't crashed whilst doing it, but I dread it doing that :money:

It started yesterday for me

I'm getting them too It's been a nightmare as when I update mag dailies it sometimes deletes EVERYTHING in the post it takes ages to find everything again.

Also theres a few of the thunderbird comps I cant post on mag dailies as when I do it deletes everything below it so I keep losing full magazines... it only happens with certain links that are in someway corrupt and MSE picks up on it

yep, had it a couple of times & recently one yesterday morning when replying to the inn posts.

Me too:(. I am not a robot.;)

I've now to taken to copying posts before I hit preview/post as I had one go funny when I hit preview. I like to preview especially as I have a habit of doing E; and I don't notice this until I hit preview.
I'm glad others have posted about this as I thought it was something to do with my anti virus. I've even ran a scan.
It also happened to me when private messaging.
I've just hit preview now and the security check has happened again.

It's happened with mag dailies again :mad: I know its a pain but I think I may have to leave some comps off the list till it;s sorted as it's taking me so long, i've just lost the whole of Look magazing so am gonna have to re add everything.

I've not had it myself (yet) but one of our regulars encountered it 3 days ago. At the time I could find no other reports of it happening, but it is starting to appear across MSE.

I don't know how reliable this is but speculation is that MSE is using "Cloudflare" in its anti-spam battle and the settings are turned up way too high.

BTW - this MSE problem has already reached Wiki - see last entry HERE

I've had this for the last few days, it's driving me nuts. I always preview my posts, I have to tick the 'I am not a robot' thing. Then I submit the post and have to tick again then click all pictures of boats/houses/whatever.

I thought I was in the Site Feedback section It's not just when posting links, I've had it when just posting text. I'm going to copy my post to a thread in Site Feedback.

From one of One-Eye's posts below I picked this up that might help us Laura, Lazerus plugin on firefox to resurect the text from failed posts.

Thanks Cornish Pasty I will give that a go i'm also making sure I ALWAYS preview now just incase. It seems ok as long as I don't post the Thunder Birds comp, very strange

makes me wonder why we bother when other sites are problem free!
