Author Topic: Anyone here a member of RCUK forum? Want to report broken registration page  (Read 2851 times)

Hi - is anyone here also a member of the Road Cycling UK forum (RCUK)? I was hoping to join the forum, but their registration page is unusable currently, as it's using Google reCAPTCHA v1, which has shut down, so no new users can register :-(



I've tried reporting the problem weeks ago via their "contact us" link, but don't think that actually goes to the people who look after the forum and obviously I can't post about the problem on the forum as am in the Catch 22 situation of not being able to register on the forum... So I was wondering if there is someone here who is an existing member who could report the problem to someone who maintains the forum, presumably here: http://forums.roadcyclinguk.com/forumdisplay.php/54-Feedback-amp-Bugs

Current members will probably be completely unaware of the issue, as think it's only affected new sign-ups

Honestly I wouldn't bother. But RCUK and bike magic used to have great active forums but these days it's quiet.

Not surprising it's a bit quiet if people can't register...

I've seen that error on a commercial site this week.  The service may only just have been shut down.
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

No, Google ReCaptcha v1 shutdown on 31st March and Google did give plenty of warning of this to developers. Google are about to release ReCaptcha v3 (which is currently in beta) soon!: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/v3

They don't have a Dez, obviously...

It's been quite for ages. I stopped bothering a few years back. Went to road.cc. Hated the attitude there and thankfully found this place

The publisher is now in liquidation. RCUK may not be around for much longer. https://www.bikebiz.com/business/factory-media-liquidated

Ah, okay, that explains things, shame, as it looked like one of the less toxic road bike forums.
