I have them (analytics and sundry other cr&p) blocked in hosts too, and I don't =always= get a puzzle, just mostly. Right, I can eliminate that then. I've tried different browsers, deleting cookies, not deleting cookies, browsing google sites before going to ss so there is a google cookie already on my machine, I always get the puzzle. Well I unblocked analytics, and moved the SM monitoring activity (which definitely is a robot, although it doesn't bid) to another PC/userID, and I am getting fewer picture puzzles than I did yesterday, so Analytics may be a factor after all. Or maybe it just needs an overnight rest.

At last something came up which I actually wanted, and up come the bloody pictures .... seven or eight bloody clicks to get as far as "too late". Ludicrous, really. I know SS have tried, but really, is this the best available solution?

The random start time of the SM sales is a problem.
Maybe they could be held back and released at a fixed time, (on the hour?). There might be several available simultaneously, and we could all have a better shot at them, No need to stare at the screen for long periods.

I still haven't had a free pass...... guess my ultra-privacy habits count against me. Grabbed a bit an hour or so ago though |

First day I got no pictures, second day I was getting one and now I'm getting 2 series! Yep. It seems that if you are using Google's reCAPTCHA a lot (which is what a lot of us are doing on the SM), it determines that you are likely a BOT and give you two batches of pictures. For it to reset you have to give it a rest, and/ or alternate between browsers. For me MS Edge seems to be more forgiven and definitely resets at midnight. As for the other browsers, I think Chrome is punishing me for using other browsers because I always only get pictures.

I know SS have tried, but really, is this the best available solution? No, the best solution is to run some sort of buy queue / allocation, like they do for the initial funding stage, which can probably be defined to be 'fair', regardless of how fast your fingers, PC, internet connection, bot, or brain, happen to be .. however that definitely is more work, and will baffle any foreigners to whom the concept of queueing is .. well .. 'foreign'. 8>.

Yep, a prefunding queue for the SM is the best solution (regardless of how "fair" or "unfair" some people may say it is), this current solution just slows everything down for everybody and therefore I am now wasting more time to still not get any parts. I guess the only benefit of this approach is it push all but the most desperate, or time rich people off of the SM and therefore maybe improves chances for these select people, for everyone else its now just not worth the effort.
