@m4zuper visit this url: https://shreveport.craigslist.org/reo/d/shreveport-5916-fairfield-avenue/7510962976.html and click the reply button if captcha doesnt come up refresh and try clicking reply again and repeat few times for it to fire off if necessary.

Looking forward to your help to improve my bot skills. Please let me know what CSS or element and etc you used

@m4zuper Got it working like a champ just had to change the CSS to target the whole IFRAME.

@DaHammer
The problem is not with the selector. This is an invisible captcha that can be solved either by one of the methods suggested above, or using the standard HCaptcha solution module. But in order to solve it using a standard module, you need to look for suitable selectors in the page code yourself. Therefore, it is easier to solve this captcha using the "Solve captcha with clicks" action.

@m4zuper slightly offtopic but I have been using sleep for about 10 sec to give time for the captcha to appear so I can detect it in my routine and start solving it. Would I be better off with something instead of sleep like wait until text or wait until CSS? The wait text never worked and I couldnt figure out what to target on wait CSS. Any help to optimize that would be great gave them both default of 10 sec sleep but if captcha appears before then I would like to start solving instead of full sleep I have working now.

@DaHammer
If a captcha pops up every time you click it, you don't have to check if it pops up. For example, a captcha solving action will itself wait for the selector you specify in it to appear until the maximum timeout has elapsed. Otherwise, you can use the "Wait While Element Exists" action.
