The instructions just say: Please solve the challenge below, and click the I'm a Human button to get a confirmation code. But they don't actually say how to solve the challenge! Solving the challenge, in my experience with Captchas, is simply typing the two strings of characters (words or numbers) into the input box. Just enter a space to separate the two strings of characters. The challenge, for me at least, is actually being able to read the provided characters! I guess I am just old. :-) If you have the same problem, there is a button to push to get another challenge. I usually have to click that button 6 or 8 times until I get something I find readable. Hope this helps.

[libreoffice-users] 2 things: Base and captcha
1. I am new to the field of data base and to LibreBase. I need to get help (ask questions), but I do not find it easy to do via your websites. I went to http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/account/signin/?next=/en/ and try to sign in, but get “Sorry, we don't have this email address in the database” I thought that I had joined the community and I am now receiving email, but I cannot sign in to ask a question. When I try, I get the response that my email address in not recognized. I really want to ask a question about Base. 2. When I tried to send the above message at http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/feedback/, I couldn’t get past the “captcha” thing. I have no idea what I am supposed to do with the “(Please solve the captcha)” thing! Add, subtract, divide, substring, parse,...?
