jorge.s Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Hi everybody, since few days, waypoint downloading in my account became protected by a CAPTCHA. I had a look in most recent release notes, yet there is no mention of anything regarding the CAPTCHA. Was my account "semi/banned" somehow, or did I do something too "robot-like"? Is it only my problem or is anyone else experiencing it? Thanks for replying. J. Edited September 16, 2010 by jorge.s Quote

It appears to be some weak attempt at keeping the site from getting "scraped". Little do they seem to know how easy it is to bypass or even "work" the recaptcha, especially in automated scripts.

Skippermark Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Sometimes doing things too quickly can cause it to pop up like opening a bunch of tabs in a short time, but it's usually scripts/programs that cause it to happen. Quote
