Title: Why can I post new topics but can't reply to a topic
Post by: nameviolated on March 31, 2013, 07:45 pm

As it said I can post new topics but can't reply to any topics in the newbie section as no matter how tries I make the captcha always returns an error.  Is there a fix to this?

Try the captcha a few times, they can be finicky.

The captchas are annoying at times, but there's really no way around them until you have the post count.  Sorry.  :(

This should help things go a bit faster, if it's any consolation:

Thanks, but worked it out, I was using a phishing site that had a .to on the end of the url.  Lucky my silkroad and forum passwords are different.

.to wouldn't be the problem, and besides, that site is not phishing.  You can use it to get to a Tor Hidden Service (.onion site) without installing the Tor Browser Bundle.  You add .to to the end of any URL.  There's also a service called tor2web that works.

So...

silkroadvb5piz3r.onion becomes silkroadvb5piz3r.onion.to
silkroadvb5piz3r.onion becomes silkroadvb5piz3r.onion.tor2web.org

I have an extra SR account I use just for browsing, and it's that account that I use through these services since I'm paranoid.

Oh.. well it's good to know it's not a phishing site, but it still solved my problems with replying to threads.  And thanks for the link earlier, following your recommendations in it.
