1199603 2011-05-05 06:45:00 I don't mind using Capcthas to cut back on spam.

But the red one and blue one that use two words are something else!

What dictionary do they use to get their words ?

And why do they have to make them so hard to read ?

I find those quite easy actually. Unless it's something with accented letters and symbols etc... then I consider ... should go into character map, try to find the appropriate characters and then probably get it wrong because everyone else just wrote "lol **** off" ?


But yesterday, I managed to screw up my Gmail password, and it locked me out... the captchas were a single colour, no weird characters, but they were stretched, skewed and bent beyond belief, took me about 15 tries before I got one that was readable... :yuck:

I mean there were things that could have been an 'a' or an 'o' or maybe a 'q', p, 'd' or 'b' because they were next to possibly an 'i', 'l', 'j' or 't' and all of them looked like a coin after it's run over by a train.
