WARNING! ReCaptcha has changed their validation!

Last year I posted about a shortcut for entering the company ReCaptcha's captchas - they're always 2 terms, and you only had to find the
wavy, italicized or otherwise distinguished term and enter that one, and you also could leave off the last character.

Well, today it changed - after further testing I found that you have to enter the entire term AND the first character of the second term. I do not know
if this is temporary or permanent but it's been true on every single sweepstake form where ReCaptcha appears that I filled out today.

Also, here's a tip: if the distinguished term appears second, you'll have to enter the entire first term as well, so keep refreshing until the distinguished term appears first, ensuring you only have to enter that and the first character of the second term (which is often numbers or garbage).

:cheers:
 
kcmoviebuff - i THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE LATEST adobe UPDATE, WHICH {ONCE AGAIN!} messed up FF so bad it locked up on me and I had to uninstall it!


Ooops, sorry CAPS
 
Nope - I never updated Adobe and have had no FF problems. WHY they changed the matching pattern is beyond my pay grade :scratch:
 
Probably in response to a bot? :scratch:

TY for posting about this - I meant to, after I entered my sweeps, but I got distracted. :crazytongue:
 
WOW! thanks so much for the tip. I thought it was my computer and had quit entering capchta thing for the last 2 days. ( until my DD can come and fix it) thanks :wave:
