Corbeau - Today at 8:25 PM
Hello. Some assistance needed. I was trying to log into the Freeciv forum, but got this:
"You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts. In addition to your username and password you now also have to solve the CAPTCHA below."
The problem is: no CAPTCHA.
Can you forward this message either to some admin or post it on the forum?
Problem with the forum login
Re: Problem with the forum login
I'll try to look into it tonight or tomorrow, if no-one else gets to it sooner.
Re: Problem with the forum login
Ok, thanks.
Development: on this computer (job) I am "permanently logged in" so apparently I'm... logged in... but on another (home) it seems I deleted my cookies and when trying to log (back) in I messed up the password and this happened.
Actually, this is not the first time it happened. The first time was a year or three back and it was the same problem: no CAPTCHA.

Re: Problem with the forum login
As someone who's spent way too much time browsing TFTS, some obligatory questions:
- The freeciv forum's "captcha" doesn't look like normal captchas (at least it didn't when I just tried it). Did you maybe just not see it?
- Did you try turning it (your browser, as well as your PC) off and on again?
- Do you have an ad blocker, and if you do, did you try disabling it?
- Did you accidentally disable Javascript?
- Did you wait for the web page to fully load?
- Does the problem persist accross different browsers?

Ok, move along, people, nothing to see here...

Re: Problem with the forum login
Rule 1 of tech support: Try the most simple approach first, even if it seems unlikely that that could be the problem.
Glad it was just a simple Layer 8 thing.

If I were any good, I'd go and customise it, but in the meantime, here's a screenshot for anyone else who's confused.
Re: Problem with the forum login
I just spent 2 months, yeah 2 months, with the same problem, WHEW!
