Is it me, or do the mags have some weird captchas? I read one earlier that said, "The end of the world." ugh! LOL :laughing:
 
Thanks Sara :) I'm glad you posted about this too, now I know I'm not the only one getting weird messages..lol :laughing:
 
The ones that seem designed to trip up those of us with dyslexia/bass-ackwardness drive me nuts - I see 9 and type R :crazytongue: :whistle:
 
As long as you can read the capcha's, I almost don't care what they say.

I get the ones where the word is upside down, only the top or bottom half of the letters are there, or they're in a foreign language that uses symbols rather than letters. Sometimes it takes forever to get a capcha I can read or enter correctly.
 
So funny Deerwalker!! I had one once that had the word "win" in it and I just knew I
won a $500 instant...only I mistyped the code and had to use another and didn't win.....oh, well....I can dream... :laughing:

Lately, I've been getting many where the letters run together and are small. I click on view at the top of my browser and change the zoom to 200%. I find them much easier to read this way and spend less time reloading a new capcha.

'Course if I'd buy a new pair a glasses that'd help also.
 
Amy - I didn't know that about Recapchas - thank you!

Curmudgeon - good idea on changing font size.

thanks,

Well, maybe you do need new glasses. But I think they do make it difficult to read on purpose. Sometimes I guess at what it says...but I have no problem just getting a new captcha, if I really can't even guess what it is! lol

It really can't help being dyslexic! We all have our challenges. I am genetically impatient, that is my handicap! LMAO! :laughing: :whistle:
 
HAHA Too funny my boyfriend was just saying the same thing about captcha's the other day, he was checking his online banking account and got a captcha that said JAIL, then suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. He's was freaking out, but then I answered the door and it was the UPS man LOL!
