Sometimes I respond to new post notification on a different device with a browser VPN, and am asked for CAPTCHA verification. Sometimes it behaves more as a "Kafka verification", with every use of the [Preview] button resulting in a new verification request, and the post disappearing into the ether with the use of the [Submit] button. Is this a problem with my browser (Opera Version:81.0.4196.60), with the CAPTCHA service, or with ANN's setup?

P.S. I know when it asks for "buses" to not click on the picture of the Airbus airliner, and when it asks for "boats" to click on the picture of the ship. Wink

P.P.S. Who is the character with below-waist length white hair and a blue dress that appears at the bottom of the CAPTCHA page?

I'll try to look into it although it can be hard if I never get any captcha.

It's kinda late, but I took another look at this and tweaked the security rules so I *think* it shouldn't happen again.

But if someone else gets these several captchas in a row, please post here; now I know what to look for and with your IP address I'll be able to find what rule is being triggered.
