Annoying Captchas

Does anyone else get these Capchas? I very rarely (thank god) get them but when I do I seem to get them all day on every one I have to fill in and they always say I've entered it incorrectly. I type them in so carefully and double check to try and prove to myself I'm being stupid but it still does not go through and I end up doing about 10 until it finally accepts one! Are they case sensitive? :mad:

It's to prevent spam (you have entered too many in 24 hours) - either reboot your router to get another IP, or wait 24 hours
Also the captcha you have shown above is "case sensitive"
so would be offeahe rdyArab

Yeah they are to prevent spam, like automated software that can do thousands of entries in a couple of minutes.
Most of the time they will fail because it is inputted incorrectly, so just change the captcha if you are having problems. They are making them harder and harder to understand.0 -
I also got these today and keep entering them wrong so i clicked on audio and instead you just have to enter the numbers they say. Much easier:)0

Will have to give the audio ones a try myself, I usually just cycle through them until I see something easy lol0
