Some CAPITCHAs are too hard to read
Captcha's for anyone who hasn't actually come across the term before are those little squiggly images where you need to decipher the text (usually some nonsensical combination of letters).

I really hate web sites that use Captcha's when you need to log-in or fill out a form. These little blighters can make filling out a form a complete nightmare, almost to the point where you hit the back button.

| 28-2-2008 | Yeah, I don't see why they have to be so hard to read! | Bob |
| 28-11-2007 | I'm colourblind and sometimes cannot even see the stupid thing! I usually have to call my wife to decipher it for me. I think they serve a useful purpose but there needs to be an equally secure back up system for those that cannot read them. | anon |

| 26-11-2007 | You lot are so narrowminded. I agree with the writer. The curly wurly text is sometimes totally indecipherable. | Get lost |
| 23-11-2007 | Umm... why? Because I can read slightly mangled text? | HAL |
| 23-11-2007 | Hal you're an idiot. Can't be bothered to elaborate because any right-thinking person will concur. | Nuff 'bout that |
| 22-11-2007 | I hate Captcha's too but I hate spammers and bots more, even more so since I own a couple of websites! I'm sorry to say but they do their job pretty well and are gonna stick around until something better comes along! | simmy276 |
| 21-11-2007 | Sorry, you just failed the Turing test.
If they were "easier" they'd be machine-readable and therefore pointless! Obviously an acceptable proportion of the human race seems to manage or the sites wouldn't get any customers. Just go and practice a bit and if you're visual...more | HAL |
