I am not a robot
No, I am not a robot. I am logged in. Do robots log in?
I also don't have anything to click on.
Only started recently.

Do you have any ad blocker set up or any other browser plugin that modifies web pages ?
I do have Adblock Plus, as I always had.
One change I made lately is that I had to switch to Chrome. FF was just really acting up.
The other thing I noticed is that when I open a second tab, 3rd, 4th, the message is more likely to come up. Should that matter?! How many tabs I have open?
I started seeing this every day about a week ago. I do have AB plus, but this site is whitelisted and there has been no change there.
Also, more often than not, I do not see the verify icons to click on. Just a blank page and no way to prove I'm not a robot. Maybe I am a robot. I'll go check. . .
I think the ad blocker causes the verify icons not to show up. Try pausing ad blocker and refreshing the page. When you open tabs in quick succession, eg x amount in y seconds, the robot checker thinks you are a robot pounding the site and asks you to verify yourself before continuing. Interesting that chrome should cause it to happen more, maybe it is a more efficient browser so it sends more requests to our servers faster.
I just listed the recent changes but teachamantofish also saying that it started a week ago, so it may not be because of the change of browsers.
I never seen the button, but it would be nice if the redirect wouldn't be there instead of needing to verify that I am real.
I have also encountered this problem. I use AdBlock Plus and https everywhere in firefox. I wouldn't mind so much if there was a functioning captcha and that's all I had to do, but there seems to be no way around this.
Haha, seekingalpha website is so bad, it's hilarious! It's not a responsive UI (designed for 1264px width), it crashes browser tabs if you leave them open for long, and now it insists you are a logged in robot! This feedback portal is nice though, I think it's developed by different engineers.
