Captcha Issues??

luijo

They are driving me mad, :mad: I can't get any of them right (despite wearing my horrendous reading glasses that I try to do without!) They are truly the worst captchas ever... I was even starting to become a little suspicious that maybe ITV are making it that little bit harder to enter for free!! Anyway I am giving up tonight and off to rest my poor tired eyes. I am going to look for an email address tomorrow to try to contact them about the recent difficulties.

These are so difficult to read and it is impossible to distinguish words on the audio version. There are lots more sensible captchas out there why make this one so difficult?

Until yesterday you only needed to put in one of the words (the "slanty" one, the LH one in the example shown) but now it appears they have tightened up and require both to be entered.

There's always 1 "dud" word, you still only need to enter the one word and for the other word not needed you can just put any character on your keyboard and it will take it

The other night both words were required, with capital letters in them. I usually skip the second word - thats why I posted above. It seems to have gone back to how it was orignally now. Was odd.

That's what I did, but seemed a bit hit and miss to if it actually accepted it.

I've been having a lot of problems, especially with Re-Captchas... I saw this video on the internet the other day, It's absolutely fascinating and hillarious to watch and explains why they come out the way they do... well worth a watch!!

Thank you KevBev and FireFly for posting the vid. That was soooo interesting and soooo funny. I'm never going to moan about these captchas again - well, I will moan less anyway.

I also think it's a metaphor for us to not judge so easily. Who would've thought that our captcha struggles could actually be useful?

I'm off to google some more captcha art now...

I've had some brilliant ones in the past, I just wish I'd thought to print screen them... Decrepid Swindler has to be one of my favourites so far

Just had a nightmare with ITV and had to abandon entering them as both words were undecipherable (a word?!) and had black boxes covering letters too!
