I'm happy to hear you were able to fix your problem without having to take the trouble of walking over to another computer, logging in there and posting your question. You saved a bundle; Bitcointalk customer support engineer house calls are real expensive.
Not everyone is rich enough to have a second computer available. Also, perhaps you would care to explain how two computers in the same household, almost certainly running the same OS and browser settings, would have offered results different enough to circumvent the problem. Oh, wait, that would require some actual thought, which, as the original posts points out, seems in short supply around here.
Bitcointalk per se doesn't have any tech supports or working email for such issues. Instead, we have the Meta section to discuss forum-related issues concerning functionality, technicalities, bugs, glitches etc. I have encountered that same problem you're having just a day ago and I suggest you bookmark this link in order to bypass captcha logins the next time around:
https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.phpNote: you have to be logged in on your account first in order to get your one-time unique code for bypassing captcha logins.
Yes, I opted to follow that route immediately after I regained access. Thank you for the suggestion, though.
Thank God you have resolved the problem of logging in, some time our browsers have different setting that a users need to allow before third party service can be allowed. Bitcointalk have an eco friendly system that is easy to access on any browser.
Bitcointalk itself is not the problem, merely the convoluted back and forth with Google's captcha. Apparently Firefox's strictest setting in regard to trackers is what was inhibiting it. Rightly so, though, I'd say.
