Why is Audiogon checking my browser?


For the past few days, I keep getting a prompt to show I am human. Lots of Capcha that even though I input the proper number of items, prompts me to another Capcha.

If this is the future, I am going to bail.

@ticat  the way i got around this is going to forum.audiogon.com.  no need to restart your compuer. 

It seems the new security system has some bugs.

Now, I get the 'checking browser' screen, but it moves onto the page I wanted.

Usually Capta is used to reduce attacks from netbots.  It could be that Audiogon has noticed some logins from netbots that have been getting past their member access controls.  The bots could have been using Audiogon to spam or attack its members with private messages.   

My 11 year old iMac's browser doesn't experience anything of the sort described in this thread. It was only during the installation of the new features that Captcha was doing it's thing. 

Like already mentioned, some bots could be piggybacking on your accounts at random. Amazing, just how much info they have on your nowadays. Just this morning, I got an email from a NFT site stating overdrafts on my PayPal account and seizing my PayPal bank. They had my last name and complete address, down to the apt # but the zip was off by one digit.

I love getting those just for the chance to reply with some huge font nasty replies.

All the best,
