We just changed CAPTCHAs to show on-demand (once you start typing a post) for two reasons:
1) It should decrease their difficulty since Google penalizes you for requesting a lot of verification images, but not solving them, which had been happening.
2) For the privacy concerned among us, we still load the JS but it only hits the API when you're actually posting.
tl;dr: The number of black inkblot CAPTCHAs displayed should decrease dramatically.

We're also working on verifying the CAPTCHA before image upload for larger images, which should be done sooner rather than later.

Reminder: If your third-party 4chan extension is broken, try the native extension by clicking [Settings] in the upper-righthand corner of the screen.
