  • Captchas

    Can we please get some normal captchas back in the blogs? I don't know what is going on with this series of animal print painting things, but about 95% of the time they don't work and I have to skip through 8 or 9 pages until a normal-ish one comes up and even those are super blurry. It's already a pain to do a captcha every time I want to make a comment, though a necessary one, but this is making me not want to even bother ever commenting. Can we please go back to normal set of squares we choose from that had bicycles or street lights or fire hydrants, etc.? Those weren't annoying.

      I actually like the new kind better. The ones with the photos of bikes or buses are always super blurry and in many of the photos it's really tough to tell what the picture is.

      Personally I'd prefer some way to log in once and then not need to do the Captcha thing at all.

        Yeah, Steve, that would be nice, if we could sign in and that would be enough, or just have one captcha at the very beginning when we signed in or when we made our first comment, but not on every subsequent comment after that one. At least the captcha was working for me today, so there's that. Thanks to James and Jon for fixing it.

          This has nothing to do with the captchas, but since I did a search and couldn't find anything else relating to this, I no longer can create an entry in my blog. If I click on new entry it takes me to my control panel and if I click on create anew entry, it does nothing. I did a contact us last weekend, but never heard anything. I have been unable to create a new entry for over a month.

                      1. I click on the blog page
                      2. I click on "new entry" in the top right hand corner
                      3. It takes me to my control panel instead of opening a new entry box
                      4. I click on new entry and nothing happens
