Bay Creek Neighborhood Association Calendar Info

Updated 24-Nov-2022

If you are getting a CAPTCHA instead of the Bay Creek Calendar (either on the Bay Creek home page or on the Calendar page itself) and are using Safari on a Mac or iPhone, here are some solutions.

  1. Ignore the CAPTCHA on the Bay Creek home page and open the Calendar in its own window. On a Mac, this can be done by holding down the "Command" key while clicking on the "Calendar" (or right-clicking on the "Calendar" and selecting "Open Link in New Tab"). On an iPhone, hold down the "Calendar" and select "Open in New Tab". This is the easiest solution.
  2. Use another browser. This seems to be specific to Safari; Chrome and Firefox work fine. This is another easy solution.
  3. Take the CAPTCHA test. Because Safari blocks cross-site scripting by default and hides its identity, Google thinks you might be an automated process rather than a real person. Taking and passing the CAPTCHA test proves to Google that you're human. However, we've noticed that even if you think you've passed the test it presents you with another. And another. And another. Very frustrating.
  4. Screen shot of Safari settings Disable the cross-site tracking check. To do this on a Mac, click on "Settings" or "Safari Preferences", then "Privacy", and then uncheck the "Website tracking: Prevent cross-site tracking" checkbox as in the graphic on the right. On an iPhone, Settings -> Safari -> unselect "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking". Note that cross-site tracking will be disabled for all sites! You might not want this.

We apologize for this situation and wish there was a better workaround, but it's way beyond the control of Bay Creek. I believe this affects only Macs running the operating system Ventura (13.x) and above and iPhones running 15.7 and above.

This is an evolving situation. It's possible that either Apple or Google will change things in a subsequent release of their software or service so they work like they used to and show the Calendar without changing anything. There are plenty of other folks experiencing this issue on other websites in the world.
