Captcha issues, switched to reCAPTCHA

Looks like there's an issue with our text-based Captcha provider, which is unfortunate. We've switched over to reCAPTCHA for now. I know this is less accessible than our textual ones, so we'll try to switch back if the other provider becomes available again.

It wasn't just you, Captcha isn't working anywhere

The captcha still seems like it's broken.

For anyone like me who has difficulty with reCAPTCHA I can recommend the "Buster" Firefox extension, which solves them for you.

(Yes, that's silly and calls into question the whole point of these things, but... there it is.)

Well, craptcha! :P Couldn't resist. As someone who appreciates the text-based version for access reasons (screenreader user here), thanks for the heads up.

I hope you get the text-based one back soon. I love that thing.

Thank you for trying to keep things functional! Captcha is acting up everywhere for some reason.

thanks for the update! unfortunately reCAPTCHA still seems to be having issues at least on my end, though.

reCAPTCHA doesn’t work either, at least not for Safari.
