SlickWillyLongstroke Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 You know that security check that pops upon signing into the site, like the worst game in the world, instructing to "select the fire hydrants", "crosswalks", ect from the world's blurriest photos? It used to be 3-4 squares selected. Then a few squares changed after selection, to see if the new square had the object, or it would shift to a new object selection. Now: Goes on, and on, and on. Think I counted 4+ minutes worth of anti-fun once. Thought it would go on forever, but it eventually signs you in. Any way for community moderators/webmaster to change this before it gets to 10 minutes? Grateful for the site... but damn.
Uncle64 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Dont log out, and make sure you are alone that uses the PC solves it Or atleast use one PW profile on your PC.

The images in the google captcha that I've been clicking in the past now don't seem to apply the same. It now takes multiple pages of retries, which include waiting for the captcha to update the next page of fire hydrants or traffic lights from a series of seemingly unending traffic lights. It's one thing to push for human clicks on captcha's but what's happening now is on an entirely differently level.

I think the "no big deal"ers just haven't experienced a recent 4-minute sequence of this yet. I swear I thought it was broken. I think some logging in for the first time might just give up. This last log-in was just two pages, fwiw, so hopefully Captcha realized the BS and toned it down a bit. Don't want to stay logged in for privacy reasons, so that's not an option, unfortunately.
OldTimer91 Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Just adding a bit more info on this. it definitely relates specifically and only to the Google Captcha. The experience isn't tied to this site. Each site that I log into that uses the Google Captcha is responding similarly. I suspect what we're experiencing is part of Google's war against bots and a side effect of an increasing attempt to prevent foul play. Guess the internet could use a few more alternatives to secure login tech.

I knew Captcha was a widely used verification system, but wasn't sure if sites had any control over tuning it. I hate google with a passion for a number of reasons. Guess this just adds another reason - albeit a pretty minuscule one, considering some of what they get up to. Clocking 2 minutes of "spot-the-cars/hydrants/ect" on this latest one.

I laughed at the last sentence as it took exactly two minutes while logging in.
worik Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 ... It's been pretty much annoying in the last few days. But the site responsiveness and page loading is bad as well My guess is, that we have to suffer (again) from some DDOS idiots ? Quote "The Mercy of Stendarr does not extend to DDOS worshippers."
SlickWillyLongstroke Posted December 13, 2020 Author Posted December 13, 2020 Only one page full of "spot the crosswalks" as of today. Signing in @ a blazing -20 seconds. Hopefully it's toned down for good, or at least for a while.
