AtomicRax Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Auto click confirmation links? The point of that is to prevent spam.. The need for automation of this makes me think you're trying to mass sign up on sites to POST spam. Other than that, are you looking for a way to beat [pass] the captcha or prevent it from showing up? I think it's because the ".challenge" field changes every time, so when you use an outdated .challenge code, you get the captcha. If you can find a way to get a valid code so you can append it to the submitted post data instead of using an outdated one, you might be in luck?

Jessica Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I'm sure this is against Yahoo's TOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
