"Captcha" problem with submissions.

[paulzon]

I have tried to submit my Newcastle United site several times in the section http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Soccer/UEFA/England/Clubs/N/Newcastle_United/ , however it says that I need to re-enter the Captcha information even when I am 100% certain that the information I have entered has been correct.

 

I have repeated this over and over, yet it is always the same result. Is this a common problem? An ODP site bug?

If you enter the captcha one time wrong just going back and entering it correctly will not work (atleast not in all browsers). You need to reload the page to get a new captcha and try again. AOL staff is aware of this problem.

Thanks pvgool.

 

I didn't enter it wrong the first time, the captchas are very clear and I double checked it very carefully. The error page kept telling me to click the "back" button, but eventually I did refresh, and re entered the details two or three times, but that didn't work either.

 

I managed to sort it out in the end though, after going away and coming back. I had to make LOTS of submissions though before it worked though.
