Can someone help me with how I am supposed to enter the security image letter & numbers) before I post ? I always have to try several times before my attempt is successful - Is it me or is this forum format just useless?

Same here Messey, it seems the quicker/shorter your post the more likely to get it first time.  Longer posts require the new figures, then sometimes I get told I cannot post again for abother 45 or so seconds :-(

Very much the case that long crafted posts never get the security image as there seems to be some form of timer protection running in the background.

One word / sentence answers and it clears on first entry.

You could of course compose longer answers in an editor programme - Notes, Word etc. - then copy and paste the answer as soon as you click reply. Also a good idea wit the more thoughtful replies to save having the system time you out (and forgetting the temporary save information).

This has been on the forum a few times. There is defiantly a timer like the one that stops you posting in quick succession, and the timing bar at the top only shows that minute, so if it says you cannot post for 20 seconds - it might actually be 1 minute and 20 seconds, or 2 minutes and 20 seconds etc. Im probably going to get caught by the timer right now.
