• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Captcha for search

Question Anthony! Why do we need to do the Captcha verification for every search we do when we are logged in? I can see using it for people not logged in but why when we are logged in?
 
You'd probably be MUCH better off sending that question thru the Contact Us link down the bottom of each page - by posting questions for Anthony here in the public pages, it might gain attention for your issue, but it might take a loooong time for Anthony to actually find it... he doesn't read every post in every thread that hits the public pages, but he DOES get to read all of the msgs sent via the Contact Us link! (Sorry Anthony! :rolleyes: )

That said, I really think this might be something to do with YOUR set-up?! :dontknow: I certainly don't ever hafta go thru the Captcha Verification when I do a search, and I can assure you, I do LOTS of searches! Have you done anything or changed anything on your local service &/or device lately? It does sound annoying, but I can't see how anything platform or Forum based could make this happen for only some users without effecting ALL users?? And AFAIK or have heard to date, it doesn't seem to be effecting all users!!? :sour: Got me?! :dontknow:

But please, do try the Contact Us link! :thumbup:

Happens with Edge and Chrome also. This was the first time, I believe, that I accessed SL using Chrome. I almost never use either of those.

I could be wrong, of course, but I figure Anthony probably has an automated filter in place that will pop up or highlight any post that contains his name. That's why I started it out that way. But I'll try to remember the Contact route next time. Then again, by posting in the forum and attracting responses he can get a feel whether it's an isolated, minor, or major issue throughout the forum.
 
I just tried with Chrome and didn't get any Captcha. Could be corrected now?
I still get it. I logged off, cleared cookies and cache, logged in, and still get the Captcha. Also, does simple search using the box at the upper right of the forum index page work for you? When I use it I immediately get taken to the advanced search page.

I just did the same thing. Used the plain search and advanced search. Neither showed the typical Captcha box.

BTW, regular search stayed that way, it did not throw me into advanced.

Windows 10, updates current. Chrome Version 80.0.3987.106 (Official Build) (64-bit). If that helps any.
 
It's a mystery to me! :dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow:

Edit: I just tried and get it on my laptop, my other desktop, and my Android tablet. Sure points to something at the SL end and not my end unless it has something to do with my Internet provider.

Search

:coffee: No search problems for me.
Sorry for those who have an issue.
Hopefully someone will find a fix. ...... :thumbup:
 
I access the site through Google Chrome. I have experienced no issues with logging on or making searches. No Captcha elements have popped up.
