Why am I asked a CAPTCHA: after adding my reply?
Cancelling then seems the only way of finishing this activity.

It looks like there are two issues here:
- Why are you asked a CAPTCHA. Probably because you tried to insert a new external link. This is a necessary inconvenience to prevent automated spam bots. If you create an account, you’ll soon be able to insert new external links without solving CAPTCHAs. (But you don’t have to; you can continue to edit without an account if registration is more inconvenient for you than solving CAPTCHAs every now and then.)
- Why cancelling is the only way out. This may be a bug, could you please explain why you can’t publish your comment? Nothing happens when you press the Reply button? An error message appears? If the latter, what does it say? CAPTCHAs should be supported in the reply tool for a long time.
