Captchas unreadable?
« on: May 24, 2014, 09:53:37 am »
Are the captchas for the daily email completely unreadable to anyone else? I literally cannot make out ANY letters or even understand the audio one either.

I've been having the progressive video ones lately or two simple words. I can't remember the last time I actually had one with random letters

Like I can't even tell if it's random letters or words.. it's THAT unreadable. I've never had a problem with it before.

I am not having problems with the captcha's -- they are usually words related to the video ad that's playing.  I use a Firefox browser on a Windows 7 laptop with 8 gig ram.

Occasionally I have a problem with the captcha box disappearing before I can enter it, but it usually shows up in a couple of minutes (and several ads) later.

If I ever have problems with any site -- I do the following: 
Step 1) refresh the page;
Step 2) close my browser and reload the page;
Step 3) close all browsers/web pages and  clear my temps and cookies with CCleaner 
Step 4) turn off my computer and start over.

In most cases, a refresh clears up the problem, but occasionally clearing my cookies and temps is necessary.

I have been very frustrated and have voiced my frustration on this and other survey sites.  I actually got an answer to my query from another site that explained to me that these CAPTCHAs are cyclical and will return to the other type eventually.  In the meantime, they claim they use an outside source for these, and there is nothing they can do about it.  You have a choice - you can wait until they change, you can try and try (I've tried dozens of times at one time or another on the same one) and see if you are lucky enough to put in the right letters, or (what I like to do) you can do something else to make the same amount as you would on have on the PTC.  OR, you can scream your head off (as I have) which will not do anything but make you hoarse.  I believe this is another way to limit money paid to members no matter how much they say it is about security.  If it's about security, why are they sometimes just words typed out from an ad that you can just copy?  Riddle me that!

lately my capchas have been clear (but disappear before I can submit them, a lot)  A while back though, at certain parts of the day, The capcha's were unreadable scriblng. Then in acouple of hours they were clear.    Try changing browsers, sometimes that helps.

Try refreshing captchas till you can read on. That is what I do.

Yes, I try refreshing CAPTCHAs.  All afternoon I have been refreshing the Daily Click.  I know I have done it more than 100 times.  I just can't believe this.  I don't think it's fair. I have given up.

I can't read them either.  Yesterday I tried so many times to login, that I was finally blocked and had to contact support center to unblocked my account.

My captchas are still readable but I am noticing that they are not as clear as they usually are.  Can you request another one or reload the captcha?  I've never had to try that on this site before.

There's a refresh button

When I can't read the Captchas I hit to refresh to get another one.  Its on the right hand side, and if you move your mouse by it, tell you how to refresh it.  This is good for security.
