login fail forums

**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,

* shorter,

* more technical (for developers),

* or as a bug report/ticket system entry.
