Had this error twice today now, time stamp is around 5:32:40 pm if that helps. The last time it was after submitting a captcha, not sure if thats what triggered it or just trying to fight again.

Not had it often, just very occasionally

I'd assume captcha is the problem.

Sounds like the intermittent captcha issues that were reported about a month ago - http://bots4.net/forum/3/5119. Has this continued?

Chrome, getting the problem over and over to the point I can't pass the captcha to fight. Last ~10 fights from "Wednesday, July 10, 2013, 9:21:10 am (ET)" if you want to look at the log

I'd enabled it to see if the issue had gone away because I can't reproduce it locally. It's disabled again now; I'll try enabling it again later.

My only guess as to what's happening is that this is an intermittent recaptcha outage.

Actually, it looks like this might be a known issue with the recaptcha library I'm using. I won't have a chance to play around with it until tomorrow night, so expect to see this issue possibly return until then. I'll leave captcha off in the meantime, but will periodically come back and try reenabling it.

just for the record, im not having any socket problems with captcha and havent had it for the formentioned period of the resent posters, and im only playing on chrome.

I reenabled captcha 2-3 hours after my last post and haven't heard about any problems since. I'll look into seeing if I can update/patch the library I'm using so that this won't be a problem in the future.
