Yup, have to agree, the picture is the messiest I have ever seen when it comes to these verification things.

I tend to agree but if it prevents incursions like we've witnessed in recent times...so be it.

Agreed, it is the only time in my life that I have managed to crook my neck and spill coffee over my forehead at the same time. Still, all adds to the charm!

If we ever meet you simply must show me how to do that. My talents are limited.

It's one of the older styles of captcha. I couldn't read them to begin with when people started using them. But some of the newer ones are a bit easier to read, or even hear for that matter.

*hint hint*

It would be a pleasure Steve, just drop round my place sometime and I'll make sure the percolator is on. Bring Wellies.

OK, the forum search was screwed enough before this image verification rubbish was implemented, not it's just ridiculous.

It's got to the point where I will put it on record that I will never again, while this useless verification is in place, berate anyone for not searching the forums first!

Ironically, this useless check will do no more than increase the number of new threads asking repeat questions much more than the few spam threads that it aims to reduce.

I agree. I have personally stopped using the search function for the time being.
