How strange, it does show me as using NT 4, which is probably what the computer came with originally. As stated earlier, I downloaded 7 and 10 a few months back.
If the site is reading me as having NT 4, then that might explain why I receive no tests.
I will check that with the newer laptop and see what active users shows on that one.

Okay, I'm on a newer laptop that uses windows 10, and active users still shows me as using NT 4.
I don't know what this computer came with originally because I received it as a gift, but I would guess 7 or 10.

I think 'Someone Else' has figured out why I don't get the robot tests, for whatever reason, the site thinks I'm using NT 4. As to why the site thinks that, I have no idea.

^Maybe something with the IP address. I don't know if the site registers a relationship between IP addresses and operating systems. I'll check what Active Users shows when I'm home again behind my Windows 10 PC, which was originally a Windows 8.1.

Anyway, you're one of the few luckies who is not bothered by this irribuggy feature Wink.

Sounds like its something along those lines, it seems my updates or computer switching never registered with this site.

Yet we should look further, I think. My PC at home is also mistaken for Windows 4 NT. It has been upgraded to Windows 10 a little more than 8 months ago. It was originally 8.1. I have never used NT 4.0. My history since I signed up to PA has been with Vista (until November 2014), 8.1 (until July 2016) and 10.

^ checking the active users at any time shows way more NT 4 than you would expect. Apparently the site is faulty in its deciphering. Also, I don't think I ever had NT 4 either. I thought mine started with 5, but I don't recall now.

I can't answer that. Craigslist got rid of their captchas by actually calling their users and talking to them and then adding them to a list. I can't imagine what a monumental task that was.

It's f**king annoying. What would a robot be doing on a prog website anyway? I get a notice saying that I don't have access. I guess they don't want robots on this site and for some reason they think that robots don't lie. I mean if you were really a robot and wanted to come on the site what would you say ? Yeah you got me I'm a robot, I know I'm not welcome on a progrock site. Bad robot. Bad bad robot.
