Suddenly they are super hard to decipher. Getting on my nerves having to refresh several times. Wish FC would fix this.

I don't think this is FC because I never have a problem reading captchas. Ever. I've used Firefox and Chrome and had no problem with either. I usually get a commercial or just have to type in a phrase and they're always readable. Every now and then I'll get a question and all I have to do is select an answer from a list. Just curious, is anyone using an old, outdated computer? Maybe that might have something to do with it. I'm not sure, just trying to come up with an answer.

I am using a chrome browser, also.  I get the most awful Captchas; today I refreshed time and time again until finally I got an error message that I had to do the 2 1/2 minutes all over again.  Then I had unreadable Captchas again.  Finally, after maybe 50 times, I got one that worked.  I am so P........d.

I use chrome as well. When I cannot read the captcha, I have hit enter and it is uaually readable.

I can hit enter dozens of times and it still comes up with unreadable ones.  Sometimes I hit enter or refresh at least a fifty times.

You could try to left- click it on using your mouse. Hold it down and drag the captcha around the lighter or darker parts of the page. Maybe that will help. Also, is your computer old and outdated? I don't know why you can't read them. I hope you figure it out.

some are really hard to read, but if you refresh two or three times, usually they'll finally put up a clear one.  it can be hard on the eyes ifyou have bad eyesight though.

It's been a while since I've had an ugly captcha. I actually feel kinda lucky about that.

Would you rather have a hard-to-read captcha? At least the ad ones are simple and easy to read.

I have not really had this problem lately. One of the main reason is because I am banned for radioloyity and the daily ones have been readable for quite some time. :-X

Can it have anything to do with your internet connection?   :pumpkin: :pumpkin:

I've had that happen just a few days ago.  I have no idea where those scribble marks are coming from.  All I did was continue to hit the refresh button on the captcha box until I was able to read it.  After a day or 2 of that, things cleared up nicely.  If that happens again, just keep refreshing until you get something you can read.

Sometimes the captchas are tough to read.  Refreshing solves the problem for me too.  Have a great day!
