Registration - image verification unreadable

toodles · March 11th, 2007, 10:36 PM

I dislike spam as much as the next guy, but I fear that the image verification thingy may be a little too cryptic. I've got a big monitor and perfect eye-sight and it still took me 15+ refreshes and 4 attempts or so to register.

They're all like that. I hate them with a passion as I never get them right either.

Hm, for some reason it decided to add random shapes and use beige all the time.. fixed.

Gosh I hate this things as well and never get it right first shot. Its particularly annoying trying to determine if a capital letter is being used.

Those ones with the wavy, groovy letters are even worse. You know, the ones that make a P look like a Q.

It shouldn't be like that. It had gone seriously crazy. images/smilies/ohmy.gif
