When using the regular web app that comes on an Android, I am getting the math question while trying to log on. After I answer it, I am sent to the BB home page instead of the forum. Etc.

The site is working fine on the Chrome app on my phone.

Oh yeah, I’m having that as well but on firefox not the default app. I get it on the laptop too though (firefox again, win7). It just keeps giving the math question, never marks the machine as being recognized (I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s supposed to be for, first time on a particular device). I’ll try to remember to try Chrome next time it happens on the phone – I think I forgot it was there.

Half of what I say is meaningless...

I feel good in a special way, I'm in love and it's a sunny day

The forum has been really slow for me lately. I’m using Chrome.

^ On my phone right now and the speed is good. Try using another browser and checking other websites. While the site is slow for you, I recommend staying away from threads with a lot of embedded videos cause they will be slower.

Is there a way for @Joe to remove the Math Question from the forum completely? Would that do more good than harm?

The maths question is a sitewide thing that prevents spambots from signing up and logging in. That’s why it takes you to the homepage upon completion – it’s not part of the forum, it’s part of the entire beatlesbible.com site.

I could disable it but it would leave the site vulnerable. Is it really causing problems for users here?

When I get the math question, I have to retry about 8 times (including shutting down my browser and bringing it back up) to get to the forum. I’m a tenacious bulldog. I WILL get on this site. But those not inclined to bulldog it will just turn away after an attempt or two.

I think its daft to open the site up to vulnerabilities.

I think AG is right though. If there’s an unnecessary barrier for regular users then the forum isn’t working efficiently. I’ll disable the security thing and look for an alternative.

I’m just curious why it comes up sometimes, but doesn’t come up other times. I haven’t noticed a pattern.

I’ve never had the math question since it was disabled back whenever that was.

It is so random. None for you. 6 for me. Three for him. 4 for her. So it makes me wonder how well it is helping to protect the site.

I’m logged in, but I’m not on the same computer. I’ll try again at home.

That’s the other thing. I can use two different browsers on a single computer and one browser will ask me the math question and the other browser won’t.

I just posted a reply to the Mr. Moonlight topic, and it must have gone through because it says I was the last to post, but I can’t access the topic. It says I don’t have the permission to access that part of the forum. I was there 2 minutes ago…
