Cannot reply to any of my Forum ticket

A few months ago I wanted to add some useful info on one of my topics I created but find I cannot. There are no controls (buttons) which allow me to add a reply to the topic or reply to any of the user comments. I also found that attempting to login to the forum with my email and password ALWAYS fails because of Captchas ("Captchas can be tough sometimes! Please try again"). I was lucky enough a few weeks ago to actually get logged on again and still seems to be logged in. However, as mentioned I cannot reply to any topic, which means if anyone replies to this, know I will not be able to reply back. Unless you have some work around that solves it for me. Note, I use Chrome as my main browser (currently logged in). I have tried logging in on my laptop an well as my PC using Edge browser. I found something right now. It seems that on both my laptop and the Edge browser on my PC, if I wait long enough after getting the "Captchas can be tough sometimes! Please try again" message that eventually I get the "I'm not a robot" pop-up and pressing that I then ca login. This is only because as I was writing this that I noticed the "I'm not a robot" dialog finally appeared and I was able to complete the login. However, that still does not give me any ability to reply to any topic, even the one's I can created. At the bottom of any topic is a box with "Write something...", but writing anything in there does nothing as there is no button to submit it. Any replies to this can also be sent to my email: fugro_jtc@yahoo.com

I find I can bypass forum captcha by having my browser log in and save the web-page's cookie. With the Firefox/Mozilla browser, I get a checkbox to remain logged in after I log in the 1st time... thereafter the forum page sees the cookie every time I connect and bypasses captcha. For this to work, your browser must not totally block cookies. You may need to enter a white-list exception for the web site if cookie blocking or deletion on exit is enabled in the browser. Or if tracking blocking is enabled in the browser. Otherwise at most you'll only get captcha annoyance only on the initial login unless the forum changes it's cookie-id. I think it can be made to work similarly with Chrome and Edge browsers.
