Captcha makes difficult to keep count of entries FOR ME. Fortunately the website stops you at 8. BTW, sometimes I only had one captcha per entry, even though I made sure I enter all the requisite times. Makes me think is, as I said before, teething issues...

BEST OF LUCK FOR TOMORROW !

I open a new tab per entry, so I can count how many I've done. 

Thanks Abbafan, I'll try it myself...Best of Luck !

roboform doesn't auto fill on the mobile number fields but does on the name field.

Dear lord the "hcaptcha" system is awful, this is horrible now.  EVERY single time, and some of the pictures you really can't make out.  Give them feedback about it!

Etccarmageddon

I agree, the images are too small and often impossible to make out

Roboform works fine on Chrome for me for both fields
Like others though, I'm finding the images a bit small so having trouble picking out the trucks from the buses and boats

If the images are too small, zoom in (on Firefox top right - 100% +) and they are much more readable.

Roboform works on both fields in Chrome and Firefox.

They have obviously had a problem with previous captcha so have switched to new system.

Images now more difficult to identify (e.g. car door, car bonnet, plane wing) presumably on purpose to make it more difficult for bots.

It was always 3 images to select now number varies, again so more difficult to predict for a bot.

It isn't always 2 sets of images. Sometimes just 1, again so more difficult to predict for a bot.

In the end, it'll be better if its stops bots entering because it gives us a better chance to win.

If you don't like the new system, you could always enter by text.

Didn't get the captcha today in MS Edge, thank god! Yesterday was painful filling them out every entry.

Agreed, the autofill not working plus the captcha are extremely frustrating!  If anyone finds a way around it please share!  I was trying to do "The Call" for Cool FM (45 entries) and it was grim.  Is it to encourage text entries?

If somebody wants to try it and report, hCaptcha has an accessibility facility for those who find it hard to use. You login once to hCaptcha and it sets a cookie that supposedly "passes" you through any challenge for the rest of the day.

See https://www.hcaptcha.com/accessibility

(I haven't tried it yet)

The online entry form page seems to have changed for this comp.  The autofill no longer works and I get a captcha on every page now, rather than just now and again. 

Thought it was just me! Bit irritating but hopefully perseverance will pay off. Perhaps they're trying to put people off using the free online entry!
