@leocg I believe it is - would that affect it? I'll check and post back.

@leocg Yep - it is on and I tried turning it off for that site. Same thing - it won't let me sign in either way.

@tnorth What's the page address?

@leocg It is https://www.smashwords.com/signin There when I use my log in info, i just comes back to the front page where it isn't signed in: https://www.smashwords.com

It says:
"January 8, 2018 – To help prevent unauthorized access to user accounts, we've added a CAPTCHA process to this login page, and logged all users out.

If you've been using the same password at Smashwords as you're using (or have ever used) on other services, you are encouraged to reset your password now.

For more information, see Site Updates.

I've contacted them, too - but it seems there is something in the sign in page that Opera isn't reading and it won't complete the sign in. I know this works since I can sign in using FF.

Can you use https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-007/?display=en to mask as Chrome or Firefox just to see if it works? Try masking as Chrome first though.

@tnorth I clicked on 'sign in' on the first link and could see one of those captchas where you need to select some images.

@leocg OK - I don't see that when I try to log in. - just this image:

No images to choose from.

@burnout426 Nope - tried using that extension in both Chrome and FF. I can now see the CAPTCHA pictures but when I go through that process, I am sent back to the original page - not signed in. And when I did use actual FF, there were no CAPTCHA pictures - it logged me in right away.

@tnorth Not even after pressing the sign-in button?

@leocg Nope - I input my log-in info - press the button and no images appear - it just cycles me back to the main page where it is back to the way it was - not signed in. Very weird, isn't it?

Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation" and install. Does it work in that Opera?

@burnout426 And - I was just about to do this when I tried again at Smashwords and it logged me in immediately! I had emailed them about the issue also and they said that they knew the CAPTCHA might be causing users to have login issues and they were working on it. So hopefully it is fixed. I did also again delete cookies and cache prior to it working, so that might have something to do with it too.

Thanks for the help - and the link to the add-on - I'm going to keep that for future reference. All suggestions were much appreciated!
