Moderator: Problems with image matching before posting

I mentioned in a recent Greylake post, the fact that it took at least 8 attempts to successfully send the post. Is it possible to alter this system to make it easier. It puts me off posting, and Brian Sweeting agreed that it was frustrating him.

Otherwise, this whole forum feels excellent. Any chance of a change? Thanks.

Hi Dan,

Hope I can post this,my worst has been 19 attempts to post and it has put me off posting.

Yesterday there was a Firecrest and 3 Stonechats on Queen Sedge Moor.

Best Wishes

John

Can be annoying, I know, but can’t do anything about it as it’s a safeguard by the website provider, to prevent any takeover of the Messageboard by web-crawlers.
For myself, if the cryptic characters are not readily readable I click on Different Image until one appears that is, remembering that it uses both upper and lower characters and also numbers.
