Don't know if this is happening to everyone else, but I'm getting really fed up with dealing with that page where I have to enter a Captcha phrase nearly every time I make an update to one of my uploads. My 'submissions' don't contain any dodgy 'phrases or content' and I can't imagine what triggers this off! This just started happening about a couple of weeks ago.

The CDN has in-built detection of bots, spammers and other malicious type attacks, and it can give you the captcha page especially if you dont have a virus scanner.

There really isn't much I can do about this - the security via the CDN is as low as I am willing to go, and the bandwidth saved by the CDN more than makes up for the very tiny percentage of legitimate users who have issues.

I wonder what Esmeralda is sending that triggers this? Talking about Scunthorpe?

Ha ha ha, I really don't know what it is. It only happens (so far) when I go back and edit one of my already-uploaded creations, it's never happened while just posting to a general thread, such as this one. The uploads that I was editing recently that come to mind, were my six Deus Ex character sims, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing filthy in any of those threads. I'll have to go over them with a fine-tooth comb to see if there's a 'Scunthorpe'-type situation. Maybe the CDN just doesn't like the words 'Deus' or 'Ex'.

OK, thanks, I guess it's something we just have to live with for the greater good!
