CAPTCHA error when trying to post on 4chan

Hi,

Been a very long time user of NoScript, honestly don't see myself browsing without it anymore. Anyway, onto the problem. I can post on 4chan.org when I'm not allowing 4chan.org, which is fine, but I obviously can't use certain functions like replying, etc. However, when I do allow 4chan.org, every time I try to submit my post, I get the following error -
Error: You seem to have mistyped the CAPTCHA. Please try again.
I had no issue registering here, and this used CAPTCHA as a form of verification, so I don't believe it's related to that. I'm not sure. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks.

Maybe you mistyped the captcha. Those suckers practically drive me blind. :evil:

Seriously, when you allow 4chan, ensure that all of these are (temporarily, if you like) allowed. It will take a few generations of page reload to see them all:

+4chan.org
+http://ajax.cloudflare.com
-http://www.google.com
-google.com
+https://www.google.com


Perhaps not all are needed, but I didn't take the time to narrow it down. You might be able to.

Probably more important, look in "Recently Blocked Sites" (which only appears after an allow > page reload or two) for something like
"Temporarily allow all from 4chan.org"
That may do the trick.

In any case, I was able to post successfully using the captcha.


p. s.: Yes, it's annoying to have to do multiple allows and page reloads, but it's an ugly trend on the web. More info in this sticky post.

Hi,

All of the sites you listed are allowed, but I still receive a captcha error upon typing it. Even when correct. I have two scripts blocked, would these two be the reason?

quantserve and google-analytics.

No. Those are advertisers and data-mining scripts, and NoScript runs a Surrogate Script when they are blocked, to make the page happy that the scripts ran.

Do you have any of these add-ons: AdBlockPlus, Ghostery, or RequestPolicy? They may cause problems with images, which a captcha is.
