Human?

Most times I visit this site and wish to comment, I am asked to prove that I'm human by clicking on a box which apparently can tell. No other forum I engage with does this. Can someone tell me why?

I've never been asked that Ken. Must be something about you... can you post up a selfie?

What operating system and browser are you using? I am using Win 11 and have tried several browsers. I don't get that treatment on any of the browsers, including some that I have not used for Proboards before.
Are you ticking the remember me tick-box when you log on. If you do, you should go straight into the forum each time you access it.

Barry, it's the little box under the USERNAME in the orange box. If you tick that before clicking on Continue you should nrver have have to login again (unless you have some computer glitch.)

Thanks Spaceland, I did know that bit but I had never seen the question about being a human or I have forgotten. I should have written my answer better.

It has just happened to me again. When I try to log in, which is certainly not a daily thing, I am always logged in and no passwords are required. I made a couple of comments successfully this morning but, when trying to comment on another subject, the site asked me to verify I am human. I am using my iMac computer with Safari browser.

Do you run any cleanup software or automatic cleanup processes that might delete the cookies on your system? I know if I do a cleanup and don't 'save' certain cookies, I have to log in to all of my various forum sites again.

Thanks for the suggestion, Gerry. I was already logged in and had posted a couple of comments but then the site asked me to prove I was a human before I could continue. Strange. I have just had my computer cleaned up but this happened before and now, after that.
Would you believe, I had written the above comment and clicked to post it and got the message again. Verifying the security of my connection, it said.

The problem may be with your browser. What computer, operating system and browser are you using?

Ive been on here for some years but I'm not very active. Almost every time I make a comment, I am asked to prove I am a human and that my connection is secure. Am I the only one? Are my eyes too close together or something?

Ken,
I moved your single post in your new thread of today to the same topic you began last December
And thank God I have never been asked to prove I'm human

Ken, I am having problems with your terminology, are you really being asked to prove you are human by being presented with things like CAPTCHA? Alternately are you suffering with frustration as the result of finger problems with your computer? If you are occasionally being asked to log on when you attempt to access this forum I suggest it is the latter.
I sometimes lose the auto logon in my programs or newsgroups it is the result of something I have done. Sometimes it is because I have allowed the computer to receive system or programme updates. These reset things that disable the auto log-ons. However, most of the time it is because I have been cleaning things up or doing other fiddling things. First things first, have you fully updated your computer with the latest system upgrades for both the operating system and all the relevant programmes (call them apps if you prefer.) Then take note of all the things that you play with on your computer and see if you lose the auto log-ons afterwards.
