Not every time but regularly. It's a minor :(

I suspect the platform people have cranked it up in response to unwelcome, automated, traffic.

Probably disappear again once the bots get bored.

I think the Gist is that we need to upgrade to a later version, so i'll have to see what's in the coffers and get @HiFi Kabin to sort for us.
I've been away all weekend i'm afraid so this has all just jumped on me.

Our ISP enabled the Captcha as a security measure due to a massive attack on our site.

Apologies.

The ISP has now disabled it on their back-end. However i think we still need the tech god to update our system when he's got time etc.

Hmmm i just got it again... but i think that was a Cloudflare one, so i need to check the settings but will wait until after update.
