Hi Marlona,

I have let the web team responsible for the forums know about this issue and they are looking into it. unfortunately I have no eta for when it will be fixed but we will keep you updated as we know more.


Thanks!

A bit more information that might help. For some reason, the two alts I have on this account work perfectly as far as the forum goes. The like buttons on the posts show up. The notification flag works correctly. No Captcha or any of the other problems I have using Marlona as a poster. Weird. Ugh

Welcome back Marlona. Look out newbs, that badgers loaded!

So, cookies. Got these disabled?

What happens when you click "keep me logged in"?

After that, CCP will have to check logs and well, I don't think they trained that passed level 1 you know


Spurty! \o/

Well the "keep me logged in" works on the two alts on this account, but for for Marlona, it keeps me logged in, but makes no difference. All the forum settings are identical for each character too.

I use the same exact two (except IE7 at work... ugh) and have no issues.

Not a diplo. 

The above post was edited for spelling.

I think maybe it is CCP trying to keep me from posting as much due to me being bitter the last two years and expressing it greatly on the forums. lol

Well played CCP, well played.

Have a hot cocoa and take a shorter vacation of the forums until the fix it. Do salivate over the new features though but please keep the drool in a proper container and off the consoles.

Enjoy your flight.

It just means you aren't posting enough.

Any word on a fix for this? I'm still having the Security Image for every post and the likes button is not found anywhere.

I doubt it is the case here but I have heard of where they get hold of your browser and embed a captcha for forums and things. Basically you end up completing the captcha for other sites on behalf of bots that can't do it. Twisted

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

thats the first thing i thought of.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Actually you may have some issues coming from various prog.

Google chrome has a free browser is an awesome tool, I frankly would like to use it all the time but it has a lot of small issues.

Most of them are small programmer/dev preferences, you have a lot fo peeps coming from different horizons improving this free data base, you can expect people not wise respecting the rules to get some profit of it, this is why I will never use it, I will never trust guys claiming freedom for all because they're the first ones to profit from it if that gives them the power.

The base is good, but I'd better pay for something "respecting" closely the rules than something no one knows where it comes from or who really did it. Am I wrong? probably, the fact is that there are too many issues because of the simple fact free stuff for all means there are too many people with no moral. - if you ever think it's not the case then you're completely naif

What does that have to do with the 'Like' button being gone and the fact my alts on this account can post and view the 'Like' buttons just fine?

The ability to block posts of another person also does not show up.

Here is also a link of what the Captcha looks like: http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Rabbitvader/securityimage.JPG

I can only think of a few explanations:

1) I am personally unaware of any captchas on CCP's end. I would personally be worried about a virus which is hijacking your browser and inserting captchas for you to solve, which is then sent to a bot spamming a website which requires a captcha. This does sound a little farfetched, though.

2) Your account was at one time hijacked and used for spamming these forums (perhaps during the few months after Unholy Rage, where thousands of hijacked accounts were used to spam "Click this keylogger link to see my UI" and "Pornographic topic which is totally not a keylogger". If this happened, then CCP might have placed a captcha on your account to prevent it from spamming.

3) CCP, for some reason, doesn't like you.

4) Perhaps it's an account age related thing?

They highjack my cell phone too? It just make sense. Still, could someone from the CCP web team look at that picture and tell me if they recognize that at all?

I'm going to guess that you accidental hit some key combo when posting the first time with that character, or at some time after resubbing that set that up. Some weird arcane script that CCP doesn't even know about.

Things like that have happened to me more than once on more than one forum over the years.

Can be a total pain in the ass to troubleshoot. You have my sympathies.
