*ugh*
But that's not the purpose of this post.
I simply wanted to vent about the blog comment "word verification" things. They used to be something as simple as this:
... and you think, "Sure, I can type in 'extus'"... and boom, you're in.
Then they started getting a little more tricky:
Sure, okay. The letters are all wavy now. That'll surely prevent the hackers from getting in. Still easy.
But now they're all crazy like and include things more like this:
Those two examples aren't that bad, but I have been presented with some that make absolutely no sense to me! And I sit there staring and wondering what the heck these letters are that I'm looking at. And then it becomes some kind of game as you try to decipher the code language on the screen. Minutes have passed and you suddenly forget how you got there and what the word verification was for. Sometimes I get rejected more times than I have patience for and just say, "Oh forget it" and give up on the comment I had so carefully typed an hour ago. Does anyone else get tricky ones like I do? I promise I'm not a complete idiot. Some of those suckers are pretty darn sneaky.
2 Pet Peeves:
Word Verifications
Plastic Wrapping and Tape Stuff on DVD's and CD's
That's all for now. :)
Dog farts are the worst. Like seriously is there something wrong in their tummies?
ReplyDeleteI hate those word verifications as well, but I have it on my blog cause I don't want to go private and have had some bad luck with robots.
Make me sad, as I"m totally against it in every way, but I've been pushed into a corner.........
I don't know why but, I also HATE WORD VERIFICATION!! It drives me nuts, even if it's easy. And half the time I give up on commenting too. I finally just took it off on my blog.
ReplyDeletei HATE word verification. it has gotten super ridiculous. it makes me avoid commenting. i took it off my blog. i have gotten a couple of spam comments, but i think i would rather delete those than deal with word verification.
