Is anybody else getting "please verify you are human" when replying

[niyad]

or posting an OP? This seems to have just started. Frankly, this is pissing me off, having to do this with EVERY reply and OP.

update: whatever the problem was, it seems to have resolved itself.

1. Nothing here...everything seems normal.

[niyad]

2. Thank you.

[Permanut]

3. Haven't seen it yet..

I'm wondering how one would do that.

[ret5hd]

4. try replying "10100011011110010101"

[niyad]

6. You have to check a box that says you are human.

[ret5hd]

27. once again, my sad attempts at humor...

elicit not even a chuckle.

back to my day job i guess.

[niyad]

29. Sorry. It was late and I was frustrated. I did not catch it then.

Moonlighting.

[dweller]

5. Nope

So far



✌🏻

7. No, but several times in the last couple of days, I get signed off of DU and have to sign in again,

it just happened again a few minutes ago.

[niyad]

8. That one I know about.

That one happens to me occasionally. EarlG set that one up some time go, if I remember correctly. But it usually doesn't happen several times in just a few days.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

10. I can understand that, if you leave the computer for extended amount of time,

but I don't know if it's my computer, my hot spot or the website, it's really no big deal, except when I go to post a comment, I get the comment all written out and when I hit the post button, it goes to the login page and the post is gone.

[niyad]

12. That is a pain!

[ShazzieB]

17. I got signed out and had to sign back in a few days ago.

It used to happen a lot more, then it didn't happen for a while, and now it's happening again.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Happened To Me, Too

Yesterday, but only that one time as I recall.
I haven't experienced what the OP is mentioning, though.

[rictofen]

9. Got that a bunch of times a few hours ago when connected to one of the wifi networks here

But was able to switch to another wifi and it was fine.

[niyad]

11. Ii do not have the option of different wifi networks.

[LoisB]

13. Not me.

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

14. Yes

Annoying as hell

[murielm99]

15. Not here.

[usonian]

16. Guessing that Cloudflare is upset about the network you are using.

I can offer zero advice because, respectfully, you gave zero information on which to figure a cause.

I was getting endless CATCHAS for other sites until I found some magic trick for iPhone that curtailed that.

With the info you gave, the only guess I can offer is either elves or cosmic rays. Please help others help you.

We're not psychic.

[niyad]

22. Respectfully, what other information could I give? I described what

was happening, and asked if anyone else was experiencing the same.

[canetoad]

18. Are you using a VPN?

If so, disconnect it and try again.

[niyad]

21. No I don't.

[ShazzieB]

19. Hasn't happened me so far, and I posted a couple of op's today.

If that's a new feature that's been added, it was probably done to ward off bots. I don't mind having to to check a "yes, I am human" box as long as I don't have to do one of those things where you have to click every box that has X in it. I HATE those because I almost never get it right the first time!

[SheltieLover]

20. Yes, but only once.

For what it's worth, it said it was Cloudfare.

[niyad]

23. Yes, I know.

[Raine]

24. No ... nt

[peacebuzzard]

25. I get that on other sites. Not here on DU. Maybe its on your computer somehow?

Do you have other windows open?

[niyad]

28. Whtever it is just started yesterday evening. No other windows open.

[peacebuzzard]

33. so many glitches going on everywhere it seems

I will pay more attention to see if I get that check you are human disclaimer.
i do get it regularly but I will now make a note of where.
Many days I wish I could disconnect completely (except here). And go back to just cash and checks for payment.
My life got really complicated when my credit card was overcharged while traveling with no plans to return to where the overcharge happened.
It was frustrating to explain that to the rep at the bank's call service. It took over 3 months to resolve.

[sinkingfeeling]

26. Not here.

[chia]

30. I've gotten it other places, and here when I follow an OP link that goes to archive.ph

[intheflow]

31. Yes.

I’ve gotten that several times over the past few months.
