    I thought the select the road signs captchas were bad enough, then I encountered the 'click the middle' ones!

    If you haven't come across them yet, they're ones where you get a picture and have to click on the centre of road signs... then vehicles... then mail boxes.

    If you haven't come across them yet, they're ones where you get a picture and half to click on the centre of road signs... then vehicles... then mail boxes.

    The ones where you have to outline are also terrible!!! :(

    I've encountered yet another variant of the b****y things. This one gives the usual large picture, asks you to click on all the boxes containing part of a sign, and then asks you to identify the type of sign from a small selection of pictures!!!

    Ouch! I don't like the sound of that much. It's like they're trying to make it into some sort of gaming thing, instead of just simply doing what they're supposed to, and weeding out the bots.

    Thanks for the warning Midnighter
