Title: SRF/SMF Captcha not working with TorBrowser?
Post by: Disney on May 08, 2013, 09:52 pm
I have been unsuccessful for over a week and a half to register or make a post until deciding to post via Safari (first of all how is it possible to access SRF and SR via safari?). The reason I have been unsuccessful is because of captcha. The error reads out "The following error or errors occurred while posting this message: The letters you typed don't match the letters that were shown in the picture." I'm sure the letters have been entered correctly. I've read people having issues using the caps lock, I've tried both caps lock and shift key, I've tried case sensitive, all upper, all lower. I've tried entering with what appear to be spaces in between the characters in the captcha, and done it without- all unsuccessfully.

However, when I access through safari I have no problem...which is how I made this post. I recently purchased a vendor account and this technical issue is seriously inhibiting my ability to network.

Thanks!

That's because you're using onion.to links instead of just .onion

Be careful and switch to .onion, you're not safe with the onion.to which is a clearnet proxy to let you access onion sites.

Thank you for the tip! Any other answers for those other questions? I can't use deep web until I figure out this Captcha issue

Well I would recheck if you are using the ".to" link still in the other browser... I had exactly that captcha problem the first day I joined here, and after some tests and research I found out it was 'cause of the .to link. I haven't ever had that problem again since i changed my links, so if you still have the problem after using the correct link, I dont know what else can be happening...

Solved. One more question- how do I give karma?  ;)

I have just learned that we have to get to 100 posts before we can give karma!  ;)
