Verification (to read, to post) is completely wrong. The “letters to type” is ok, but the “current year” IS NOT. I had to put “24” instead of “2024” to read messages, and then I had to write “2023” to post a response, while we are in 2024.
This has several topic already about this issue. But not solution or cause (forum software or Administrator) has been defined.
However, you should now be over this hurdle (anti spam measure) now you have 3 posts.
