I am not a robot!

There is a new kind where you just tick a box. Nae bother.

That’s not the point Baggs ...I’m complaining about the other kind.

Anja I m with you they are very small and blurry and really hard to distinguish especially when they say something American like all the pictures with a sidewalk yesterday I had all the pictures with a hill but some were quite an obscure hill barely a slope
There’s got to be a better way

Yes Anja I often have to have more than one go - it’s impossible on my phone. The tick box is fine but isn’t a new kind, both types exist but the picture ones seem to be increasing ime. My heart sinks when they pop up-

Just had one on a GN competition.

They’re hard to see, aren’t they, I had one with bridges but obviously didn’t see them all. I prefer the squashed letters/numbers thing

Agreed. Blurry and always American buses, etc.
I can usually manage but I really don't like them. But at least it's always on my iPad - on a phone I think I'd give up.

I gave up on those things which are on a loop as you don't get anywhere with them. Verifications my eye ! Annoyances more like. I could never get into my old Yahoo mail account because of those.

I hate that type too, Anja.
Luckily, I haven't had them many times, but like you, have had occasions where one picture has led to another, then another etc.

The Gransnet sort is bad enough - I don't know if it's because of my tablet, but having ticked the box, there is a long pause before it starts to respond, making me think that I haven't clicked properly. But at least there are no picture tests!

I've just read your OP again - are you saying that you have had a picture verification on a Gransnet competition? If so, which was it? I must have missed it as I haven't had one of these on Gransnet yet!

Sorry - i've just looked again and see it wasn't your OP where you said that.

Oh for an edit button!

I do really poorly on the squashed letter variety too and often give up as I m sure I m typing in what is there but no up pops a new one

Try seeing them when one has a visual impairment! I give up.

I was ranting about one just yesterday that wouldn’t let me in to a Mumsnet draw - I obviously failed to identify all the crosswalks, probably because I wasn’t sure which they were. I haven’t seen them yet on Gransnet - something to look forward to then.

With you all the way, I find them really difficult

Well, I've just entered the Joanne Harris draw, and up popped the CAPTCHA picture. The first time I've seen it on Gransnet. It was so dark and blurred I couldn't make a thing out, let alone the traffic lights I was asked for. I just made a random stab at two of the squares and was allowed through anyway.

I feel the same.
