Hi peeps 1st off big thx,s 4 all the guys & gals who post .Had a hectic Christmas but had 19 prizes arrive so well pleased.
My gripe is the captcha,s they seemed to have reverted back to letters but these are worse.Entered 2 Telegraph comps & 1 other, none let me in after several attempts.Is this the signs of things to come or just a glitch???

I often have to refresh until I get a captcha I can read! Annoying!
I also hate the ones that show you a set of photos and ask you to, eg 'click on the fish dishes', 'click on the desserts'. as half the time I cannot make out which dishes show fish or desserts!:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -
The worst ones are where you know it is the right one you've entered and it still says incorrect! Before Xmas when all the radio stations were giving away £3,000 or £5,000 there were 4 or 5 stations which allowed a number of entries each calendar day. I got to the final station one day and was definitely entering the correct captcha but it was insistent it was incorrect. After several attempts at different captchas I gave up and revisited it later that day when it worked fine. Grrrrrrr!:easter:0

I've noticed I get the letter ones for a few days after a few days of doing a lot more captchas (number ones) than usual.
For example, today I've had lots of harder/letter captchas (entering telegraph comps etc.) as the last few days I've done quite a few (easy number) captchas on the radio (£2016 etc.) comps - over 200 in last 2 days. I also found that when the walkers crisp £100,000 comp was going in October, I was getting harder/letter captchas on other websites (telegraph etc.), because I was doing 20-50 entries per day on the walkers one. Between October and recently I've only had the easy number captchas because I've been entering way less comps that need them.0
