Title: Bitcointalk unusable on my device since the recent Javascript login Update
Post by: Myki on August 14, 2017, 02:20:06 PM
I used Bitcointalk alot on browsers without Javascript, however I noticed today that we are required to login on browsers with Javascript & things have  become difficult for me since.
Could you please use another method for verification that does not  require Javascript otherwise our batteries will drain fast considering  we spend a lot of time on the forum to increase our ranks and also research .
Secondly, my phone battery gets hot and drains alot quicker now.

Thanks for your attentions. Hope this is resolved soon

What are you, an account farmer with an activity of 1, writing this?
The login captcha is annoying,  as it's caused my mobile browser to crash
several times, but I hadn't noticed the battery drain.  Maybe you need
a new phone (like me).

When the new forum software comes along........I'm sure this will all be solved.

I didn't get it.Javascript on login is for reCaptcha.I tried to solve a reCaptcha in Tor Browser ( which doesn't let you use JavaScript on default plugin settings ) and it gave me a code to copy-paste for solving the captcha.Since now the login page says it requires Java it's probably true.Solving a single captcha doesn't going to drain your battery or it won't do something while you are surfing the forum.

Recently someone has taken to using 5000+ IPs to bypass rate-limits and try many passwords. Therefore, it is now required to solve a captcha when logging in. JavaScript is required for this. I know that several forum users like to use NoScript, but I am not aware of any high-quality (ie. not OCR-able) captcha services/libraries which don't require JavaScript. You can maybe enable JS just for the login page, and then disable it again afterward.

There are a few people who use automated bots which need to login. Contact me with a description of your bot, and if it seems reasonable, I will give you a key which will allow you to bypass the captcha.

Let me know if you see any bugs.

I guess you really need a phone and a browser that is using a Javascrypt. If you are thinking about your battery, you can charge your phone while using it, you said you are doing research. You said you are taking time to increase your ranks? Does that mean you have more accounts waiting to be ranked up? well that's clear.

I was having the same thing when logging in with other devices. since i have remember me in my own laptop i can login without entering the password but in other devices i can't login and sometimes no captcha popup thats why i can 't login in other devices and other browser like no javascript ..
Hope that there is other way to login without entering a captcha..

Even if you have a "Remember me" button on your laptop, with the new update, I don't think you will leading straight to log in because you still need to answer a captcha. I also do that on my computer but since the one that I am using right now is a family PC where all of my family members use it, you still need to anwer the captcha.

I think you will be having a hard time being active on the forum since you will be just using your laptop. If you have some difficulties, you can send a pm to theymos about it. His post said that he can give you some way to backdoor the captcha.

No, "remember me" isn't affected. You will only have to answer the captcha on occasions when you would've previously had to enter a username/password.
