**Subject: Error when logging into forum (redirection, CAPTCHA, loading time – especially in Chrome)**
Having run a forum myself in the past, I noticed a technical problem when logging into your forum that should be checked.
During the login process, **redirection errors** occur, especially in **Google Chrome**. Despite correctly filling out the login form (including checking all the boxes), the user is sometimes redirected after submitting and then receives an error message stating that the **CAPTCHA has not been completed** – even though it has.
It is noticeable that the login often works on the **second attempt**. This suggests that either:
* the CAPTCHA is not being validated correctly,
* the redirection after login is faulty, or
* the login process takes too long overall, resulting in a timeout or validation error.
A correctly completed login should work reliably **on the first attempt**. The current long loading time when logging into the forum could be the cause of the error messages described.
I recommend checking the **login screen**, the **CAPTCHA validation**, and the **redirect logic after login** in the forum software more closely.
Best regards,

If you wish, I can also formulate the text:
* shorter,
* more technical (for developers),
* or as a bug report/ticket system entry.
