Why do I keep getting asked if I am human?

Post by breakaway500 » Tue Jan 06, 2009 2:03 pm

I guess I had better lay off the dog bones.

Even though I am logged in,the site asks me if I am human or not,before allowing me to post.
It does it from both my pc and mac. Didn't used to. Just wondering.Maybe too much spam getting through?

Woof! :lol:

How come it won't work when I answer the question about how many wheels does my car have?

Five is the right answer - I tried it as "5" and "Five".

Looks like the three wheeled Alfa needs a front suspension adjustment....cause for sure he's not backing off on the loud pedal!

In order to eliminate the bot robots from entering into the forums, MIck installed a little program that requires people to prove they are people. Hoever, done once, your computer should be recognized on subsequent visits to the forum. There are at least 2 possible causes.
1. Your browsers are set to not except cookies. Therefore, the site does not recognize your computer when you go back.
2. Your computer is set to clear your internet trail, and cookies each time you shut it down. Same result, when you go to the site, it does not recognize your computer.

You are running a very secure computer, and that is good, however, if you do not allow it to store cookies, you will have to sign in as a human each time you ente

That has to be it,Sam. I keep eating all the damn cookies!

If I'm gonna make race weight by April,no more cookies :lol:

How's that formula go...every 100lbs=10hp?

If my car could drive itself..it would gain 24hp!

But,I'd sure miss out on a lotta fun :wink:

I don't get that.....

It asks me why RyanC thinks he's human.

I answer "ask Raj.....he's in nasioc timeout so has plenty of free time"

It lets me in.
