Captcha loop

not sure if this is a bug or not, but for the last week ive been stuck in an infinite captcha loop when trying to access these forums, I had to figure out how to open the arc website and not get dinged to even get in, and the moment I tried to use the forums, it nearly looped me again.

how do I fix this?

    when exactly did this start that you're aware of? Also does it do it if you change browsers or is one a particularly bad offender?

    I've seen this happen occasionally and I've found that if I log out of the main STO website, close and relaunch my browser, and log back in on the main site, I end up being able to log in on the forum properly.
    I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect it might be something to do with the session cookies becoming too frazzled or something...

    Are you using any browser extensions, or aggressive privacy settings where you disable cookies or scripting?

    Always happens to me when the forums eventually log me out and I have a discussion open in my tabs.
    I simply stop the refresh of the page then log in the news site again, and it's fixed.

    ive tried that, Ive found somewhat of a fix, but its irritating. https://www.arcgames.com/en/social/forum I have this bookmarked, if I try and access the STO part before logging in(It always logs me out for some reason) I get trapped in the loop. But if I log in first, theres a 50/50 chance it lets me in
