Einstein@home won't let me join up. Captcha insists that I am giving the wrong answer, I have tried 5 or 6 times but no luck. I almost never fail a captcha, certainly not 5 times in a row. It only took me once to get here.

I cannot contact the project to report the problem with out an account, and the problem is specifically that I can't create an account.

I am hoping that the project will see this, or that some existing member can clue them in.

Thanks in advance

Done. I've passed on your comment: you should at least be able to read replies at https://einsteinathome.org/content/bug-report-captcha-problem-new-account

If you need to reply to any questions before you get your account open, post them here and I'll pass them on.

Reply from Shawn Kwang, Einstein Administrator:

We're aware of the problem. And I think we have a fix, but it may not have be deployed yet. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
