Word Verification Frustration

Arghhh grrr..it has taken me 30 minutes to visit 4 blogs and leave a comment..no my internet connection is not slow-it is the new blasted word verification..so I have now turned word verification OFF on my blog and all comments will await my approval for posting on my blog..I am not a robot but golly I can’t read half of the blasted codes either…

 

Ok stepping down of my soapbox now,

Cheers Vickie

With you 100% on this. I turned mine off a few days ago ... I can't read the white on black letters very well, and judging by the many complaints I have read..... we are not alone!!

Ugh! I don't have word verification on my new blog but I need it. I am getting so much spam it isn't funny. The other problem with my new blog is that it only lets me post on blogger as a no-reply... or is it blogger's fault? I don't know... sometimes technology is annoying...

I've seen a few bloggers say the same thing. I reckon I'll be taking it off tonight, too.

I find some of them hard to read too. Very frustrating! I turned my word verification off for a little while in January but started getting spam so I had to put it back on. I wish they'd go back to the old version.
