Are you a robot?
« on: February 14, 2019, 05:05:00 pm »
Every time I try to click on an article here, it asks me if I'm a robot.

I then have to do captcha images to make sure...

WTF?

Can Autotrader get anything right?

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

No problem here. Windows 10 64bit. That said, it seems to take a little longer to connect, and like many posters, I have had the 500 error message a number of times over the last few weeks.

Any longer?

The problems with Autotrader both here and the vehicle search seem to be perpetual.

I get this sometimes, though it rarely asked me to finish images.

I get it often but not the image piece. It is odd however - usually I see those for signing up for accounts and the like not viewing a page.

Yea, I've gotten the "I'm not a robot" checkbox on a few occasions.

But both times today I had to do the images (one was cars, the other store fronts)

I think it may have something to do with my ad blocker.

So what happens if you are a robot? Does that mean you are not allowed to read it? Seams discriminatory to me.

By why so much effort TO READ AN ARTICLE?

It's like autotrader is trying to dissuade you from clicking their links.

This is what happens when you let interns run the IT department...

Seems to be getting worse - now every time the forum is loaded - work or home computer, does not matter. WTF?

When I'm using tapatalk sometimes it will only let me read three (if that) threads and then does nothing. Tapatalk works perfectly fine on the other forums I read though.
