I've just been asked to type in one of those verification codes.

I did post about 4 times very quickly, then did a new thread - when I hit send the verification code came up.

How dare this website ask me to do that - doesn't it know who I am?!

 :D

I haven't seen one of those here -- please report if it happens again, and if anybody else gets this, please report as well.

I've had it a couple of times, it's happened on other Forumotion sites as well.

Hmmm ... it may just be the rapid-fire posting causing it to make sure you're human. In the "forum security" settings, we have this:

"Flood control. Delay between 2 messages, topics or private messages by a user.
Minimum : 10 - Maximum : 9999"

I've always had it set to the minimum of 10; best I can do, obviously.

Yeah as I said, I think it was because I posted a few times really quickly.
