    When I was entering this, I got this Captcha form:

    HaHa - Thought it was just me getting Japanese writing - Been getting a few of those lately - There is no way I am downloading the Windows Japanese compatibility pack - Captcha is a pain as it is. LOL
    Not been in here for years. Life got hectic!

    You probably know this already but, the top one of those three symbols is a refresh so if you click that it gives you a new Capture that hopefully makes more sense!!!
    :)
    Live, Love and be Happy

    Yeah I know. I refreshed and it gave me two English words.

    Just really confused me when that showed up!

    There is a post somewhere that explains that you only need to fill in one of the capture words to get a successful submission. Briefly you choose the correct word by IGNORING any capture "word" that is or contains:

    foreign language (as above)
    a recognisable correctly spelt english word
    any punctuation/%/$ mark etc
    any number

    Often the correct capture word is in a typeface similar to the example above. After a bit of trial and error I get near 100% success on one word....

    Good Luck

    I always but always click the "thanks" button when I enter a comp as well.Even if the comp is low value/poor etc the OP has taken the effort to post it up.Clicking the thanks seems the least I can do.
    "Likeability" was so good that it sifted all the "cream" to the top.I find I now miss some & have resorted to domain searches & member searches eg painkiller usually posts from shortlist & lakshmi7 from sky/planet rugby.
    Please bring a version of it back :-)
