OK, I've been wanting to ask this, but wondered why I was wondering...
These street signs, do you click the posts or just the actual sign?
Whatever I do seems to be wrong...

Good job I didn't bump a comp with such a daft question

I just click the signs, not the posts.

I had one that said to click the images that match the label 'auditorium' it was anyone's guess which ones they meant.

Yes they are tempermental - sometimes they want the signs and posts and at other times it is just the signs! :rotfl:

Many thanks for the tip- I didn't know it at all. I got one of the two word ones the other day where one of the words had a German letter in it- it looks like a capital B with a stalk but of course there isn't one on my qwerty keyboard. I did German at school and remembered that they use that for a double "s" but I had no idea what the captcha would accept. I tried typing "ss" and it worked, which makes a mockery of the whole thing as far as I'm concerned because that wasn't what the image showed at all.

I had one with a picture of an ornamental display cabinet, and it said "click all squares that match the description: desk" - huh?? Luckily I noticed it said "if there are none, click skip" which I did and it accepted that!
I hate these captchas with a vengeance. I used to hate the two word ones, but they are so quick and easy in comparison!

I wonder what they will come up with next :rotfl:

Quite a few of the street signs you have to do the first lot then it takes you to a second lot. Some of the other picture ones do the same too instead of having the word submit it will have the word next maybe that is why some think you are getting it wrong. I used to think i was getting it wrong then realised it was in 2 parts.

Also, on the street signs there are often squares that have a minute sliver of white sign edging on them & these must be ticked. Sometimes you end up clicking nearly every square.
