    My tick just fades away on roads, cars, store fronts, very rarely I can enter on signs. Fire hydrants, bridges and crossways always work but are as rare as hens teeth.

    Incognito used to work, alas not any longer.

    Incognito used to work, alas not any longer.

    I started to get the hydrants etc but not for the last few days and the only pics that will select are road signs but now it just loops, I select them time and time again and then it blocks me.

    I can't get them to worki in any browser whether incognito, no tracking or anything else :(

    Mine seem to have been a little more sinister :mad:

    I found a huge list of JS files with one entitled "recaptcha_en.js"

    Some of the code here:

    (function(){function h(){return function(){}}function aa(a){return function(b){this[a]=b}}function k(a){return function(){return this[a]}}function ba(a){return function(){return a}}
    var n,ca="function"==typeof Object.defineProperties?Object.defineProperty:function(a,b,c){a!=Array.prototype&&a!=Object.prototype&&(a=c.value)},da="undefined"!=typeof window&&window===this?this:"undefined"!=typeof global&&null!=global?global:this,ea=function(){ea=h();da.Symbol||(da.Symbol=fa)},fa=function(){var a=0;return function(b){return"jscomp_symbol_"+(b||"")+a++}}(),ia=function(){ea();var a=da.Symbol.iterator;a||

    There was even one when opened a browser page popped up with:

    SECURITY WARNING: Please treat the URL above as you would your password and do not share it with anyone. See the Facebook Help Center for more information.

    I don't use the save FB password "thing" using your account pic or anything else other than roboform.


    If there have been any odd posts on my account, anything nasty etc please let me know on this post (I don't use pm's)


    If there has been anything please accept my apologies for these disgusting people who are still hacking into my accounts and laptop :mad:

    Ouch! I don't really 'get' most of what you're saying, (sorry, I'm about as techie as a Brillo Pad) but I'm sorry you're having a hard time with this, and hope you get it resolved quickly and without too much hassle.

    I cannot get in to my EDF energy account because not only do they want your log in ID and Password, they also want you to complete the picture captcha and no amount of trying will get these stupid things to work.

    If I knew Google would listen (been trying for two years to get them to correct our post code on google maps... but that is another story) I would record myself trying to complete these ridiculous so called anti spam tasks. :mad:

    If you haven't already tried this, might be worth contacting EDF too. Doubt they'll be happy that the app they're using is giving their customers problems.

    Are there picture captchas on the CTWs? When I do them, I get a video which plays very quickly.

    I don't really understand JS is that Javascript? Would uninstalling and reinstalling help? :)

    Hi folks,

    Not sure if this will work but, fingers crossed, it has so far for me!

    How does Captcha know it is my computer? Possible answer is through the IP address which is created when I link to the internet through the router. But, a different IP address is created each time you boot up the router so I tried switching off the router and restarting it.

    Bingo - all of a sudden I can complete Captchas without any issue at all. Worth a try?
