Capcha! Please Get Rid of it
Capcha! Please Get Rid of it. Seriously. How many robots plague this forum?
It's really, really, really, really inconvenient. It often takes me up to SIX tries to get on because the Capcha words are INDECIPERABLE.

I can honestly say in the seven years I have been a member I have never once had a problem with being able to read it, just the odd brain to finger malfunction, so does that make me very lucky, you very unlucky or one of us needing glasses ?? ;)
FYI, until recently there actually was a lot of spam threads, so I can't see it being removed any time soon.

I think I've only had to deal with it twice. Ever.
Which is also how many times I've seen this new pop-up "message" today after coming here:
© 2014 APG vNext Commercial Version 4.6
What's up with that???

I agree. Though it is not too much of a problem here.. on some sites I actually have to give up after getting new words over and over that I just cannot read. I have had to sign in here multiple times more than once. There is a workaround here. You can backpage and not have to fill in so much crap if you make a mistake.

Agree! It isn't a problem with "glasses", it's just more difficult for some than others because of the way our brains work. I really hate Capcha and am disappointed that CW decided to implement it here - there is certainly other spam protection available to forums.

Why even log out, unless you're using multiple accounts? I love the convenience of cookies and being able to stay logged into my favorite sites. I hate it when I try and access my Gmail account only to find it's logged me out and wants the damn password again.

Some confusion here. Just because you do not have to type a password every time you log in does not mean that you are never logged out. Your session is over (you are logged out) whenever you break your browser connection to the site. What you do by asking the site to "remember" you is to create a cookie with login credentials on your system that the site calls up when you connect to start a new session. You are then automatically logged in again for a new session. For a site like this there is no real security issue with doing it this way. If someone breaks into your house and logs in to the Coffee House as you there is very little harm that could result. Different story for you online bank accounts sites. So you can avoid most of the captcha crap.

Ok, I'm confused now........ why do people talk of CW implementing this like it's a new thing ? Since I have been a member there has always been a code to enter, yet people who have joined after me seem to think it's a new development ? Also, I have never seen any words to enter, it's just a four letter/number combo that is very easy to read. Is this something to do with post count ? Maybe Bapu is wrong and it really does matter ?

Capcha! Please Get Rid of it. Seriously. How many robots plague this forum?
It's really, really, really, really inconvenient. It often takes me up to SIX tries to get on because the Capcha words are INDECIPERABLE.
I'm hoping that one day, some company gets sued for using that. I'm a bit blind and see double and those things are horrendous for me, so that means I'm some kinda of a spammer or jerk posting about viagra. That's like saying that the stuff that some folks here is not just as bad, is it? Well, at least it gets an erection, I guess!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

Yep ... I do! But the visual thing is nasty! Oh, btw, if I'm partially blind, you think I might actually see that little horn and be able to define what the scribbles are? (Same issue at work -- a couple of folks saying I'm stupid because I can not see something!) ... smile, you got good EYES!

I can honestly say in the seven years I have been a member I have never once had a problem with being able to read it, just the odd brain to finger malfunction, so does that make me very lucky, you very unlucky or one of us needing glasses ?? ;)
FYI, until recently there actually was a lot of spam threads, so I can't see it being removed any time soon.
Glasses firmly in place. I wouldn't mind if I could just log in and stay logged in, but IE insists on automatically logging me out any time I close a tab where the forum lives. (sigh)

Which browser are you using? I prefer Firefox, but lately it's been giving me grief, so I've had to revert to IE. I've considered Chrome, but I don't like the way it buries bookmarks. And Safari, well... I've just never understood the Apple head-space.

(smack forehead) Doh! I never noticed. I guess that's a side effect of how nervous/jittery/upset I get every time I'm faced with that bloody thing. I have to wonder if it's a good idea to have those letters/numbers read out, though. Google's been doing some very interesting things with speech recognition, so the bots and spiders can't be far behind. And what will Capcha do then? Show video with someone holding up flash cards of the letters one at a time?

I just went and did this are I remember one of the reasons why I've tried so hard not to use this browser since Firefox came on the scene. I'm just not used to Microsoft's bending of the jargon. Now let's see how well it works!

Hmmm.... I just tried two of the suggestions: - turn on cookies: didn't work even though I told IE to always allow cookies from cakewalk.com - click the speaker icon: it said, "Please type all numbers. Spaces are not required," but that's not what was in the box. It was text, not numbers. Also, there was a green mess that was actually a couple of overlaid links to an mp3 and when I played that, it was in slow motion and even more indecipherable than the written text. This is some kind of conspiracy, isn't it!

For the cookie to work you need to select "Remember me" on the login page. (assuming you can read the capcha...)
