Seems to me that more often than not whenever I want to respond to a thread or comment I have to verify my id to post and then when I jump through all the verification hoops I get denied access. Happens a lot but not always and it's very bloody annoying.

Simply put? The bane of our existence here on PA
 It's implemented for protection against unwanted stuff like hacker attacks and such but it doesn't really work as you've already found out. We've been entirely unsuccessful in trying to get hold of the site owner for over a year now moving on two in order to find out more ie are they here for good and can we at some point expect them to actually work? Maybe some of the tech heads around could offer up some help or at the very least consult. We haven't heard anything yet. |

yeah.... the less said about that a****le of a site owner the better.
just know and try to remember to save your posts before hitting send. Captcha will getya with no warning but emoticons and links and occasionally quoting other posts are like a red dress, heels and big tits for captcha... it has a hard on for them

Yeah, copy your post first and try to avoid emoticons and links, then you won't get so many captchas.

Or you can make repetitive offers to M@X to buy the site and hope that one or two get through.
