So obviously I'm not the only one who's experiencing this unexplainable issues with reCaptcha.

I've started getting this error over 3 months ago at every single website that uses reCaptcha and although this error seemed to magically disappear for about a week it came back and obviously it hasn't been resolved for all this time.

I've tried many things already to elevate this problem like clearing all browser history and cache, changing browsers or even reseting my router to factory defaults, but of course none of this helped in any way. Oh and I'm also getting same crap on different devices at home connected to the same router and also on LTE connection from different ISP so I really have no idea what's going on here. Hello Google?

I've noticed that I'm getting this error mostly when I'm logged into my Google account, but even then when I log out of it I'm still getting same error unless I wait some time which even can be like 2 hours after which this message magically disappears and I'm able to solve some captchas. Of course by "solving" I mean trying to stay calm when you're clicking all images which are fading for about 5 seconds or more and then when you're ready to verify that captcha... BAM! typical error saying you to try again, again and again... (sigh)

It's really getting frustrating and pathetic that a company like Google can't fix their own product that is supposed to be better than previous version (yeah right) which is then used by many websites and which became unusable because of it. I'm starting to think that all those websites should use better alternatives and I already sent e-mails and private messages to admins of all those websites that I'm member of to consider replacing reCaptcha with better available solutions.

Also is anyone at Google even looking at these Groups or they simply don't care?

I've also send e-mail to reCaptcha support explaining my issues that I'm experiencing for such a long time, so maybe they will finally start to do something about it. At least one can always believe in that.

And in the meantime I'm really sorry to say this, but seriously: GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER GOOGLE!

They didn't even bother replying my email about this. What a bad customer support service!

Empecé a tener este error hace más de 3 meses en cada sitio web que usa reCaptcha y, aunque este error pareció desaparecer mágicamente durante aproximadamente una semana, volvió y obviamente no se ha resuelto durante todo este tiempo.

Ya he intentado muchas cosas para solucionar este problema, como borrar todo el historial y la memoria caché del navegador, cambiar los navegadores o incluso reiniciar el enrutador a los valores predeterminados de fábrica, pero, por supuesto, nada de esto ayudó de ninguna manera. Ah, y también estoy recibiendo la misma basura en diferentes dispositivos en casa conectados al mismo enrutador y también en la conexión LTE de diferentes ISP, así que realmente no tengo idea de lo que está pasando aquí. ¿Hola Google?

Me he dado cuenta de que obtengo este error principalmente cuando estoy conectado a mi cuenta de Google, pero incluso cuando cierro la sesión sigo recibiendo el mismo error a menos que espere un tiempo que incluso puede ser como de 2 horas después de lo cual este mensaje desaparece mágicamente y puedo resolver algunos captchas. Por supuesto, al "resolver" me refiero a tratar de mantener la calma cuando haces clic en todas las imágenes que se desvanecen durante 5 segundos o más y luego cuando estás listo para verificar ese captcha ... ¡BAM! error típico que dice que intente de nuevo, una y otra vez ... (suspiro)

Realmente es frustrante y patético que una compañía como Google no pueda arreglar su propio producto que supuestamente es mejor que la versión anterior (sí, es cierto) que luego es utilizado por muchos sitios web y que se volvió inutilizable debido a eso. Estoy empezando a pensar que todos esos sitios web deberían usar mejores alternativas y ya envié correos electrónicos y mensajes privados a los administradores de todos los sitios web de los que soy miembro para considerar reemplazar ReCaptcha con mejores soluciones disponibles.

¿Alguien de Google está mirando a estos grupos o simplemente no les importa?

También envié un correo electrónico al soporte de ReCaptcha explicando mis problemas que estoy experimentando durante tanto tiempo, así que tal vez finalmente comenzarán a hacer algo al respecto. Al menos uno siempre puede creer en eso.

Y, mientras tanto, lamento mucho decir esto, pero en serio: ¡RECIBA TU SH * T JUNTAS GOOGLE!

Yeah seriously this is just beyond pathetic.

Not a single response from them on their own forums even though the amount of complaints keeps growing and growing, but I guess as long as their wallet is thick they don't have to give a shit about anything, right Google?

Blocking IP's as they want for no obvious reason and treating people like they don't exist, I guess that's their new motto now.

Good job Google you've fucked up your own services, want a medal?

Bunch of amateurs...

I just wish all websites that are using this crap called reCaptcha will move away from it, as it is as shitty as it gets.

Hey, thank you for this suggestions.

I've already tried latest possible solutions from Kolotibablo as I'm member of that website, but unfortunately none of this has any effect on resolving my issues with Google's reCraptcha.

You see as long I'm not logged in to my Google account I can solve these captchas quite normally on most websites, but as soon I sign-in into my account I'm being banned from doing so and the unfamous "Your computer or network may be sending automated queries bla bla bla" message shows up.

And it's not just my main PC that's affected as other devices like smartphone and laptop that are connected to the same network are being banned too.

I can sign-out form Google account, but that don't change anything unless I wait like 2-6 hours then magically ban is lifted and I can solve these captchas almost "normally".

The whole quality of reCaptcha service is really poor and I don't know what Google is aiming at by doing these changes that don't bring nothing good or useful, but instead left people frustrated and pissed off just like me.
