First, when I try to buy something from an NPC shop, I click on the item, and the screen greys out like it does when the thing with the captcha pops up, except it never pops up, and the only thing I can do it refresh the page. I've tried on three different browsers, and it's like that on all of them.
Second, I went to visit the Enchanted Springs about 8 p.m. my time last night, and I just went back (it's 5 p.m. now), and it says I'm on day zero, whereas I was at day three last night.
