    I ended up doing the audio one as well. The words were making my eyes go funny

    Much quicker! :D
    Everything I typed was accepted, even when I only typed one legible word instead of the two words asked for! :confused:

    I only had one that it wouldn't accept, but I'm not sure that it was wrong. :confused:

    Must admit, it was quicker than typing a jumble of Z, Xs and Qs all the time and if I couldn't read it clearly just clicked on the wiggly line icon to bring up two new words.

    All of a sudden I can't get the form to load on AOL. I've never had a problem before but it's just not having it! Got the same problem with the Loose Women comp too so it's something to do with the ITV site. :confused:

    i'm having this problem too, also effecting f1 comp. but i'm using IE.:confused:
    think i'll leave it and try again this evening.

    I find it much quicker to type a "real word" for speed. OK, it might be a little hard to read at times, but normally get it right.

    hi all

    Have they reduced the number of enteries you can make? I have been counting as I entered and only got to 16 and it states that I have exceeded number of enteries allowed.

    Most odd - the T&C state 30 x.

    Has anyone had the same problems?

    just out of interest, I believe this new form of captcha is being used to computerise old texts that are being scanned. one word is known to the system, the other was not recognised by their OCR software. If you get the known word correct it is assumed you got the unknown one as well (that is why you CAN get away with entering only one).

    you can read more about this at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7023627.stm

    so if you ever need an excuse for entering another ITV comp you can say you are only doing it to help with the decoding task :)

    Had to refresh the Captcha word 4 times before I could read it...much prefer the Capital letters used on the "Real Deal" comp.
