On my mac mini at home all of a sudden I am not able to get past the captcha screen, (well I had run Onyx a for a general clean out)

 

I've updated the OS last nite, ad blocker not running still no luck

 

I have no issue on my powerbook or Imac at work

 

Any thoughts greatfully appreciated

Browser? Cookie blocking? Script blocking?

I have had this from time to when I have answered correctly and it just keeps wanting it. Be it Firefox, Edge, Chrome or Opera. It does occur more often on touch screens so there may be a clue there. I have on occasions had blockers turned on but it occurs when they are turned off as well. For me it just does not seem to recognise that I have ticked the right boxes when I have. Thankfully it does not occur all the time.

I have no issues with any other sites

 

This is the first time this has occurred to me ever

freitasm: Browser? Cookie blocking? Script blocking?

 

 

 

Safari (which I'm using on the laptop now)

 

Cookies accepted

 

no script blocking

 

Today I get no images the page just reloads

 

Interesting just downloaded Chrome and same problem.

 

So I'm gathering must have something to do with the operating system settings rather than browser issue

 

Off to investigate further

Or likely your network is blocking access to Google services - perhaps a special DNS in your router or firewall rule. Also have you ran a malware scan lately?

This happens with a long link and some Browsers don't know where to wrap.

Click the Report option and a mod fix I for you.
