    I know this has been discussed before but the captchas have always been easy to read for me up until about 2 days ago! They have been words or short phrases now it has changed to illegible gobbledegook! What is going on its driving me insane! Is this the same for everyone?

    I sometimes have to click that tiny refresh button at the right of the text input box several times to get a readable captcha to appear, there's also an audio option, but it's like listening to a female dalek over a bad phone line.

    Seems for me that some days are OK and some, as you say, total gobbledygook .. I usually give up then and try another day. :mad:

    The gobbledegook ones seem to arrive in phases, the captchas are okay for a while then you get a week where they're all unreadable. :(

    Note to self -


    Do not reply to any thread trying to help people solve their unreadable captcha problem.
    I've jinxed myself, ever since I posted on this thread a little while ago, I've had nothing but trouble with the stupid things. It's happening every couple of days now, getting unreadable rubbish. Even my switching browers suggestion doesn't work anymore.
    I hoping that posting again will put everything back to normal lol.
    It's getting very frustrating.
    Best one I've had though has to be 'schitee'
    My thoughts exactly!!!!
