Captcha not working
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2014 1:28 pm
Today I found that my older Opera browser won't load the captcha anymore. I've played with various settings in case various setting had blocked the google app from doing it's thing.
It will work in a clunky little browser I don't like using, so it's nothing in the host file.
Anyone aware of any changes here or with the google captcha restricting certain browsers?
Thanks in advance.
Update:
OK its not machine related, the second computer with older Opera didn't like it either. I cleaned all the cookies related to google and this forum, but still no luck.
I then isolated the link and it appears google is just censoring older equipment though "script," thus censoring the older people and less fortunate people who can't afford new systems, off of various sites from sending feedback. There are plenty of people who just don't want to or can't afford to move to touch screens and the ilk that comes with new operating systems.
It's not the first time I've encountered this, its deliberate on google's part - as it keeps people who don't have the latest mod cons from offering comments and the like, unless they move to some clunky browser ... maybe chrome or something.

-> error.
Oh well, as I'm bound to strike it more and more at other sites as well, rather than moving to a new browser as this one does my mail and everything else along with good download handling, I guess I'll be looking for downloader that can handle forums as well as download sites. (They are said to be able to handle captchas automatically)
