Captcha is more difficult

Has anyone else noticed that the captcha words used by most of the social sites are more difficult to read than it used to be??
Sometimes I have to reload 3-4 times to understand the letters; there are times when the word is in mirror or when there are greek or other weird characters....

 

i have the same problem...

 

i think this is a general problem... i also have the same.

 

yes, esp twitter has this problem. i got difficult to read it when i create an accounts

 

Yes i think they are

 

I personally prefer the Captcha that asks you to pick a word from a definition or add up a series of numbers. These are easier AND more effective at what they are designed to do, which is block spambots from filling out website forms.

The whole letter/number thing superimposed on top of a bunch of sticks and twigs just doesn't seem very smart to me.

 

google's is hard

 

It is not the problem of social network! i observe everywhere that Captcha becoming difficult day by day

 

it's hard to us but it's more safe for human...

 

hi, i like captcha . i have never wrong with captcha.

 

Some of them are hard to spell but its just a prevention from several automated submission.

 

I have noticed this too on some sites it depends on the exact software the site is using - but personally I absolutely hate it and I usually try to avoid it as much as possible on my own sites. Recaptcha is not too bad for readability.

 

Yes, sometime I cannot read it clearly

 

They most probably update their algorithms quite frequently, so to be ahead of the spambots.

 

I don't think so.Maybe You didn't get the hang of it

 

I agree! Spambots are ALWAYS and CONSTANTLY updating to the captcha's.
Human's have the knowledge of entering a custom code to prove their "humanoid", rather than a bot.

For a webmaster, It IS a lifesaver. They, as well as me, would rather have the human take another 2 seconds to F5 it, then for many bots to join
and spam a website.

This is just my view on it.

 

i have the same problem. i have to ask for a help before i can get the word. this irritate me sometimes but i do well understand why they have to do this.

 

I have also captcha problem in facebook.

 

ya captcha these days r hard haha

 

I've noticed captcha's becoming more difficult across the web, just not specifically on social networking sites. It's got to do with smarter spam bots out there.
