    The no-talent idiots who are likely not using this site made yet another braindead decision.

    Unfortunately, they have a few supporters here, rallying behind making everyone miserable.

    But there are also people who like to torture dogs, so no wonder.

    MANY have asked about this here already. The captcha is a security measure that began on 5/27/19, to prove you are a human user and not a bot program attempting to use the site. Apparently Verizon Media chose to hire the services of Google to provide that function (as noted by the text at the bottom right of the pages “This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.”), instead of programming it themselves. We’re still seeing some bot posts (i.e., the Yahoo Helpline bots) because the captcha isn’t activated every time an account posts. Hopefully the captcha's will be required less frequently, soon. Otherwise, I see another migration of users away from the site due to the added annoyance.

    Any time you have an issue with the site or something changes, scroll through the Yahoo Products>Yahoo Answers subcategory and see if anyone else has posted about it. You can find your answer and save yourself 5 pts a lot of times. That’s what the site was designed for (so users wouldn’t need to re-post questions that had already been asked and answered multiple times).

    Again, another ignorant buffoon who doesn't do their research. This question has been asked many times.

    Stop assuming you're the only user having the same issue.

    It is a new anti-spam measure to prove that you are a human and not a bot. It is being used to fight spam on the site.
