Line 14:
I keep getting "...contains new external links..." even though I haven't added any. Then the "captcha" process begins, first with the message, then the display is adjusted to allow space for the images, then nothing. I note "waiting on google.com" is shown and then finally the box for the images appears with "Sorry, something went wrong" and a retry does it all again. This has happened in the past (I'm using Firefox) except that the process has also worked in the past. Blocked for a day, now. Later, another try with the same result but then I noticed "Privacy Badger" was muttering (for instance, "red" for stats.g.doubleclick.net and "orange" for www.google.com), so I set its barriers to "green", and tried again. This time the final message was "Please upgrade to a supported browser", except that Firefox is one of those declared approved. And the "About Firefox" reports version 52.5.2 (32-bit) and that "Firefox is up to date" Similarly, I have just tried via gnuLinux (Mint) on the alternate use of the same computer, with the same prod "Please upgrade to a supported browser", and this is Firefox 57.0.1 (64-bit) There is no badger on this system. So, should I try moving the rodent with my other hand? [[User:Dinosaur|Dinosaur]] ([[User talk:Dinosaur|talk]]) 00:00, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
:And then I tried clearing Cached Web Content and Site Data, and on logging-in afresh the captcha stuff manifests, and endlessly requires another trial (and the blue tick appears even for squares obviously not involving the described feature as well as for dubious images, so I suppose that trial&error won't work, ha ha) and after robotically slogging onwards, eventually it is allowed that I'm not a robot.
