    ive contacted

    if its happening to you do the same



    This (despite the numerous requests not to post comment on it) is posted on the competition thread instead of the chat one.

    If you keep getting the recaptcha wrong it will keep going/repeating, and that includes not following any instructions correctly.

    The system is run by Google and helps to keep automated entries out

    i click on  all images as requested   but instead of  submit it  says next  this  happens  for next  4 grids   the fifth grid ive click on the only possible answer s  yet it rejects  ,  you if says three taxi  and it can only be three and it rejects it

    it  then goes back  to 4 grids  giving  the next instead of submit  and the fifth fails again  and  this pattern repeats

    on the  fifth  go its rejecting  a grid when youve picked the only obvious answers

    i can see why trying to suggest its me at fault  ,  but  i  can not  enter the first grid  if its not offering submit  once the boxes have been ticked

    I have found that using the same IP address for a large number of entries within a short space of time will increase the captchas and they become more complex (next a lot, fade-out repeating etc). Using a VPN (which generates a new IP address for the connection) tends to revert the algorithm to a few random captchas for a while and if they start increasing again, cancel the VPN and then re-connect the VPN to generate a new IP address. Works for me. If that does not work you may have to try a different browser or if you are using a mobile device, try it from a desktop PC (I've found mobile/tablet entries for these types of comps to be REALLY a pain at times).
