Odd; on this side of the Atlantic there seems to be no Captcha
involved? You can tick a box to be automatically logged in each
time you visit the site. Are you trying to set up a new account?
Forum seems to be workings as normal.

I've had similar problems recently with the Tophat forum - perhaps they are using the same online platform (TapATalk)? I couldn't get through the Captcha (Gotcha) with my usual browser. Resolved by using another browser (the last version of Firefox (52.9.0 ESR) that works on Windows XP). It then allowed me in without a Captcha when I went back to my usual browser - perhaps it decides that by IP address.
