So I could've sworn I'd heard rumors about this happening to other people, but I don't know if there's already a bug report about it or not. I couldn't find one.

I've been editing a pet profile and using the preview option a lot, and now I have to confirm I'm not a robot every single time, whether I'm using the preview button or actually updating the page.

As I make more edits, I have to go through more robot hoops, such as selecting traffic lights and crosswalks. When I took a break from editing the page, it stopped asking me to select pictures, but I still had to confirm I wasn't a robot.

I super, super hate this. Is there anything that can be done?

Unfortunately this happens when our system thinks that there is something that is potentially malicious in your coding. It doesn't mean there IS anything malicious. But we would have to weaken our site security in order to get that to stop. That is why you don't see a bug topic.

I see. That makes a lot more sense than just "you're viewing this page too much," and I definitely agree that we don't want to make Subeta more susceptible to an attack. Thank you for explaining!

Do you know if there's a way to tell what is making it unhappy? It's doing it for [pet not found]'s page, and it didn't start until recently (possibly after I added navigation? Or pet information?) I'll start playing with it later to see if I can find the culprit, but it would be helpful if I knew what the needle in my haystack might look like. :)

First of all, that pet is amazing. I have wanted to do something similar and never have. It really is a needle in a haystack though. It could be one word in a description of a pet or it could be something in the style tags. The only thing I might suggest is to take out a section of coding to narrow it down.

I moved it to another pet's page and went section by section, until I found out the thing(s) it had a problem with were in Cuteness's section.

Turns out it didn't like that I had put an aside in parentheses followed by a semi-colon. It also didn't like that I had used single quotes around a word. I guess from these two instances it thought I was trying to sneak in CSS code outside of the style parameters? Anyway, I just changed the way they were presented, and it was smooth sailing after that.

Thanks for your help, and for the compliment! :)
