(1) It is August 2019 and I see an issue being raised in 2016, "There are still/again problems with the captchas, when saving an article with a new link." I can confirm this problem either still persists or has reared its ugly head again, with the possible difference that right now, solving the CAPTCHA problem eventually results in a timeout, and that this behavior has been observed using BOTH Google Chrome and Safari.

(2) Original Description.
I've recently come across problems with the CAPTCHA. When you use something that needs you to pass the CAPTCHA (e.g. editing anonymously, or after you enter your password wrong when you login), the CAPTCHA displays correctly, but when you enter the response and submit, you get a mostly blank page with just the words "Could not open socket". The case when you enter your password wrong is particularly annoying, as you are stuck in a Catch-22 (you normally don't need to pass a CAPTCHA to login; but once you enter your password wrong, you can't even login by entering your password correctly anymore, as the CAPTCHA won't work). I don't know if this is just me. Thanks. --[[User:Spoon!|Spoon!]] 05:38, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
: Likely not. Mwn3d reported that the Twitter feed on my user page was reporting similar errors. I'll look into it. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 18:47, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
