Is the word verification cookie based? I use ccleaner (deletes cookies etc) on a regular basis and I seem to keep being asked to fill in the verification which is becoming slightly annoying. Especially when you type in the wrong letters, is there anything you can do at your end? Would of though the system would recognise that I am not a spammer after 1000 ish posts typing away

RE: Word verification

No it's more intelligent than that (it says here). However, I've now put you in a trusted user group that circumvents verification altogether so you should be sorted permanently now.

Odd.  You had come out of the trusted user group.  You are back in it now; I hope nopdy's running some weird batch process or something that is messing up the roles that people have been put into...

Could you add me to this select group as well please, assuming that you feel I meet the requirement of being a non-bot?  I've had to to the verification twice this morning.

Thank you. 

(the Britishness in me thought that I should show my appreciation, overriding my desire to not create pointless traffic!)

Are you using Internet explorer? If so, this might help:

Ah, glad it's not just me!  I get asked for post verification more often than not and assumed it was just the new site setup.  Would it be possible to go into the aforesaid user group please?
