Captcha not working

[cheekylad5]

Just thought someone should be aware that Captcha is not working for the site it just says the server isn't available.
If more info is needed please let me know.

This site uses captcha?

Searches use them. Though it seems to only apply if not logged in so at least there is a way around it.

Hello,

I've been getting the following error since about 9:00 PM EDT this evening. This occurred without being logged-in.

http://veterperementour.ru/search.php

Search Forums --> Human Verification:

"ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key"

The CAPTCHA refuses to load, plus it doesn't create a cookie (confirming that the module hasn't yet been loaded).

So, does anyone (mods or admins) here have an idea when this issue might can be fixed?

I have never seen a CAPTCHA on the Planet.

The solution there seems obvious.

Regardless, CAPTCHA can break with various browser extensions that block ads, scripts, fingerprinting, etc. With the same set-up, does CAPTCHA work on other sites?

@Frogger:

AFAIK, PlanetSuzy makes us perform a CAPTCHA only just before we do an in-site Search (well, at least, they do when we're not first logged-in).

If a person doesn't have to do a CAPTCHA here, when they're Search-ing for something, then PlanetSuzy must like their IP Address a lot.


@DoctorNo:

Yes, on my system, the Google reCAPTCHA v2 still is working fine in most other sites, except for in this one, of course.

... and ...

No, I'm not blocking PlanetSuzy's JavaScript, nor also anything associated with Google, so this problem has nothing to do with browser plug-ins, or such (which I happen to be a developer of, by the way).

For instance, when JS is disabled for Google, Gstatic, etc., all they'll ever say is something vague, like this:

Google wrote:
"Sorry, something went wrong. Please try reloading the page."

Just tried it again (with JS enabled, of course), and I got the exact same result as yesterday. Apparently, persistence is brutal.

OK, well, if you should notice that the error message said something about a "site key" ? -- Doesn't that sound like a certificate, license, or some other sort of authorization recently has expired ?

Just so it's clear: I'm not asking anyone to remove the CAPTCHA, just to please fix the bloody thing, that's all. Until this discrepancy does get repaired, everyone it affects is just hitting a virtual brick wall, when we try to do a Search.

However, what's also interesting to note this time, is that the Google CAPTCHA error persists on PlanetSuzy, even after I'd successfully performed one on RapidGator, just some minutes earlier.

Thanks for responding, DoctorNo, but I believe that only someone on the staff who manages the forum's software possibly can remedy this situation.

P.S.,
When the CAPTCHA system has worked here, I've often received a green check-mark (unlike at most other places), therefore, I do appreciate the staff here, for keeping the difficultly level set to 'low': thanks.

2 potential solutions to your problem:

1. Log in
2. Use a search engine for search results from the planet.

I pretty much never use the search function here, instead, I just type the name of whom I am looking for and Planetsuzy in the search engine and get great results most of the time.
