I wrote a long post about how I set up a local web service API that will detect all kind of objects in an image. However a pesky CAPTCHA verification comes up in my browser. (Due to that I wrote a lot of text i suppose) It's garbled and I can't complete it. In some browsers that I've tried on my Ubuntu 18.04 desktop I can complete it but I can't continue.

Anyway, dear admins, If You'd like me to post on the forums, please disable CAPTCHA for me or at least make sure that it's working on all platforms/browsers.

Thanks

The captcha is from Cloudflare and I cant really do much about it unless you have a dedicated IP address. Can you please post a screenshot of how it's garbled?

Also, when writing a long, complex posting, I sometimes write it using a text editor program so that when a site glitch eats my post, I have a backup copy that I can copy and paste again for another try!

It is frustrating to have a detailed post go to data heaven.

I do that too, man....after some bad experiences in the past.

First the garbled CAPTCHA dialogue: (Before it was no checkbox, now there is one)


If I check the box I get redirected to this:

I'll give it another try today. I will leave out the URLs in my post and maybe make it shorter in an attempt to avoid the CAPTCHA to show up.

Cheers!

EDIT: It worked by posting a short text. I could then alter the text without any CAPTCHA turning up.

BTW, here is what the CAPTCHA check looked like initially. No checkbox, no whatsoever and very hard to complete...
