While we were quiet on the volunteer front, our Brian L has worked hard behind the scenes:
Several changes to the Captcha settings have been made, and for a few weeks we have not had any
reports of captcha issues. So, we are now confident that the problem is gone!
Brian has also solved an issue with the migration of old users returning
to the site - so if anyone has come across their old email from the take over
from BBC, it's once again possible to re-join us on site.
Thanks, Brian!
In the event of the Hydra rearing its head again, you can as always report issues here: http://h2g2.com/entry/A87706669 or to [email protected]
Milla for Operations.

Will these good news be spread on our Facebook groups? I'm sure it will interest some of the old researchers

Yeah - I had noticed that I escaped the Captcha when I would expect it to find me, so it is great that Brian L's fixes caused that

Well, whether we're Brunel, Alabaster or Goo people, I'm sure we're all equally thankful that the Captcha problem has been solved.

If we're getting 10,000 pageviews per hour, then we have a successful site, regardless of where we are in terms of what we think we should be producing.
of course, I like ton think that most of those pageviews are looking for my delicious recipes and scintillating wit.

It's as reliable as the word 'if'.
