Stop these 'Captcha' things please!

OK, I know it was me who made the big fuss about the spammers who were spoiling this forum a few weeks ago.  And appreciate that the new 'captcha' code thingamy you've introduiced after every attempt to post anythingf (regardless whether one has successfully logged in or not) must be intended to weed out the spammers.

BUT, it is EXTREMELY annoying to have to run the gauntlet of typing vague and ambiguous characters into a 'box' before knowing whether one has wasted one's ime completely or not.

Please look at other forums. There are plenty that seem to work successfully 99.9% of the time without resoprting to this ridiculous palaver.

Thank and good night.  I'll be back when you've sorted this. (I can;t be arsed going back to check for typos - I'm sure there are several, if not many - my apologies to anyone who find this irritating - I know how you feel!)

  • It was the spamming from China I was complaining about a couple of weeks or so ago, so I think it may well be my complaints that got something done about this. in which case, great.  If not, thanks a bunch [admins] for ignoring me!

    The amount of spam on one section fo the forum was becoming so ridiculous that after making several complaints I gavce up wasting time on signing in. Only reason I did today was that I was prompted to by an email reply alert.

    Like I said in my last post, plenty of other forums manage to get by without this spam problem, and without making their members go through the frustration and stress of this 'captcha' process, so why cant this one?
