Let's confirm you are human

[RSTurboPaul]

I appear to be getting a new 'captcha' like thing, and have had a range of pictures of exciting household items to pick out.

Unfortunately it seems to be popping up intermittently but repeatedly, such as going onto the next page of posts in a thread.

If it is new, is it going to be tweaked at all or are we going to 'enjoy' such increased security forevermore?


Thank you in advance.

Same here.

Can only assume the VPN IP has been "blacklisted" or something.

Very annoying. I don't mind it once, but it's all the time.

Very. It really needs to be less intrusive.

Work is the same, which I think uses a VPN.

Every other page, even after hitting reply.

Same here. Pops up all the time.

Why, I wonder, have people started using VPNs all of a sudden?

I'm getting this, prove you're human popup every single PH page. PH effectively unusable. Presumably ExpressVPN is blocked. Well I'm not going to stop using EVPN so over to you PH...

People have been using VPNs for as long as there's been VPNs. There's nothing particularly sudden or unusual about it.

I think there’s probably a lot more using them from today!

Interesting. But I'm not sure why that has meant PH suddenly start blocking vpn's. If it's a choice of PH or VPN, I'm keeping the VPN

[pheonix478]

That said I just posted that without the stupid popup. Maybe fixed already...

Been fine for the last couple of years. Appears like PH introduced something new.
