The click pictures to prove we are not a bott gets to be a pain in the ass and in the least a endurance test. When going for six different selections to finally get in I think the computer is f'in with us to see how much endurance humans have.
Now I feel better.
I have to say that it is annoying and the I.T. specialist in me rages every time the stupid thing pops up.
However, there are bigger issues in the world and I see no point in making it an issue. It's likely the way the software company that sets up the forum does all their stuff. *cough* LAZY *cough*. Sorry. That dang I.T. guy again.
End of the day, it works. And yeah yeah, clicking remember me works great. Until you clear out your cookies and temp files, which you should do EVERY TIME YOU CLOSE YOUR BROWSER. But no one does. So most can stay logged in technically forever.

If I got upset about stupid things I assault all my neighbors, daily.
"My issues" are never issues until others agree with me. So far I have no issues.
My pages are set to automatically dump crap when closed. That means I will dump at least five times a day. Break times, meal times, and anytime my wife demands my attention. Makes it hard to do updates but keep cache clean.
Lol. It's your browser settings. I never have to sign in.
@carlos
come set my browser.
It took 13 tries to figure mine out.
It is cool to me.
@g-t
Just now it said to click on bucycles and none were shown. It did show a motorcycle.
When nothing of required is shown, you click button anyway to skip to another set.
The small inconvenience is a small price to pay for not having spam in the forum
I hardly ever have to sign in. Just check remember me.
Same problem here. PIA. Next, they will want a note from your mother to sign in. {black}:laughingoutloud:
@bc-st
That will take one Hell of a stamp.
It really is a pain. Sometimes I get in with just a single challenge, other times it seems to be an endless litany of traffic lights, crosswalks, bicycles, motorcycles, cars, chimneys, buses, stairs, palm trees, who knows what they'll come up with next - and then come the grainy images where you can barely make out whatever it is that Captcha wants you to find. Then there's the arithmetic challenges where typing in the box doesn't do anything, and you get an extra page demanding the answer to an arithmetic problem and that doesn't work either. (Yes, my browser is always running in private mode so cookies and cached data are deleted on exit.)
I can certainly understand keeping spammers and bots out but this forum is tougher to log into than any others that I participate in.
It gets to be a pain when filling a post to have it disappear into the unknown instead of pages here. But all I say is mostly bullshit anyway.
