I'm having a lot of trouble reading the captchas, and I'm not exagerating. It's taking me about three or four attempts each time to get it right. Is there a way to make them easier to read?

Agreed

My eyes gonna blind and my patience is challenged

I lowered it a bit. Why do you keep having to answer captchas?

alaricljs · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:18:36 »

As far as I can tell without registering a newb acct. this is part of SMFs post restrictions settings. I can't track it down atm tho.

mediocrechris · « **Reply #4 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:52:43 »

For the first 10 posts, I had to answer a captcha each time. With this, my 11th post, I don't have to answer a captcha. I don't know whether that's because an admin made a change or whether I just don't have to answer captchas anymore.

Looks like I don't have captcha anymore, hopefully its removed for everyone

rknize · « **Reply #6 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 13:59:44 »

You should be clear once you hit 5 posts. A bit more for PMs. These are just spam bot hurdles.

gliy · « **Reply #7 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 14:06:21 »

Also it should be noted that you also have to enter a captcha for edits when you are under < 10 posts

IllegalAlien · « **Reply #8 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 14:40:11 »

Yep, over 5 posts I'm clear of those impossible to read things.

Well, I have less than 10 posts, and the Captchas are gone. I really struggled with them.

These are the most difficult to answer captchas I've seen anywhere. They look simple, but it usually takes me 5-6 attempts until I manage to pass this test. And no, I'm not a bot :-(

It's been a while since I answered the captchas, but I do recall they were fairly difficult. What I did was zoom in as much as possible in the browser view, and then guess.

they last something like 10 posts. you just need to compute 10 times in that big brain of yours and then you're free to spam the boards like all the rest of us

Are they new captchas or are they the same as when I joined (USB)?

There is a captcha and the USB question.

LOL, suckers. Why are you so new?

RabRhee · « **Reply #28 on:** Mon, 22 July 2013, 14:34:15 »

They won't remove the captchas on here or on some gaming sites, because secretly its an age test. Old farts with bad eyes like me are supposed to take the hint and go back to the bingo sites. Its really a Human under xx years old test. (xx is tunable by the site owners I think)

alaricljs · « **Reply #29 on:** Mon, 22 July 2013, 14:53:28 »

Let's not ask the average age of the admin staff.

I think they would be much better off asking who was the President when we first went to the moon.
