trouble with entering code verification

Submitted by William Smith on January 22, 2012 - 4:59pm

Is anyone else having trouble with entering the code verification to allow a post/update to be made?  I only have problems when I get prompted to enter the code verification while updating the movement database.  I’ve tried for a couple days now, to no avail.  I’ve tried both the audio choice when the visual doesn’t work.  Tried about 20 times on diff. days.  I was prompted to enter code on other posts during this time period, and it worked first time, and I can’t imagine it’s something specific to entering comments into the movement database when updating.  I can edit movement database things like add a new jewel count or production year, however when I try to enter a comment which gives supporting movement info, I can’t get through the code entry.

I'm not aware we're using any code verification? I haven't encountered that yet.

admin has implemented a nice feature which, I beleive, is mainly to keep bots or autoposters from spamming the site.  I very seldome get propted to go through these few steps, but when I do, it has worked up to a couple days ago.  I believe it's randomly called, however there may be a way admin has set it up so some members don't have to go through it.  Maybe from IP's or member names, MAC addresses etc...?  It has utility, but seems to be malfunctioning for me.  I've logged out, and loggedd back in, restarted computer and got a new DHCP sub-IP, tried on my "smart" hellphone via mobil android ap, tried firefox browser.... and it's consistently telling me i've entered the code wrong and to try again.
