YESTERDAY I COULD POST (HAD THE SECURITY CODE HERE) AND TONIGHT I FIND WHEN I TRIED SAY ON DISCUSSION ON A PROFILE I HAD MADE, THAT I COULD NOT POST; THERE WAS NO SECURITY CODE THERE.

IT DOES NOT SAY THAT POSTING IS PROHIBITED WITHOUT MEMBERSHIP (I DON'T WHERE, BUT I READ THAT LAST NIGHT.)

JUST LOOKED THROUGH THE "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS" AND FOUND THIS TOO.

Note: You may also create Public discussions on the profile pages of any public profile.

As a rather new user you will very often be asked for a security code, and the reason is that the system has to ensure that your are not a spammer (in almost 100% of the cases spam are posted by new accounts).

If you are asked for a security code and don't see the image of it (a CAPTCHA) you might be blocking parts of the page, for example by not having enabled javascript.

Bjorn - Makes sense to me that they might have started doing that. BUT it really should be documented - in the FAQ she lists - along with what to do if you do not see the security code, and some idea how long you have to be a member before you stop needing a security code (so, for example, someone who cannot change whether javascript is enabled, or whatever, has some idea when they will be able to fully participate).

Hi, thanks, idk, but everything else seems to be working so far and for record Bjorn, lol, if I were a spammer, i'd spam here before on a single profile, I made :P

But yes, what Lois said (thank you Lois) and thank you for responding, Bjorn.
