Why the captcha when you are already logged in.

[BimblingBob]

Seems pointless to me asking if something is green or 365 long. If we are already logged in I don't much see the point.

I was quite surprised by that - but it seems to go away after a certain number of posts - which makes a bit more sense I guess.

[Baldy]

I can now post all sorts of things without so much as a 'by your leave'

[Nicos]

^^^^^ ya think so?

Te he....there may be the odd surprise in store if you think that!

[Lumpy]

Go on Baldy be a dibble I dare you!

[Greenleaves]

Aiding and abetting eh Lumpy

Is it just me that has no idea what this is about? Don't know what a captcha is, whether it's green or 365 long!

When you register Alison you are asked what colour is grass etc, the concept is to stop robots registering, the fact the answers may be wrong does not necessarily matter but has to be answered

Nicos beat me to it

Are we sure Baldy isn't a robot??

Do Robot's have hair?

I'm sorry VC - I can't comment on that...

Ah, I just call them very annoying. Really struggle with reading some of them. My eyesight isn't too bad (just a bit middle aged ) but I actually had to give up on buying something the other day as I couldn't get it right after several attempts.....

Ah, don't think I got then when I registered, then again it's so long ago I may have forgotten. Bought from the OP that it was something that was happening each time they posted.

Back in 2006 it was all fields here Alison...

I'm not aiding and abetting I'm just trying to encourage a newish member to express themselves.

Everybody knows that I would never be that naughty!

Now I'm even more confused, don't like clicking on links but made an exception here and the relevance is just cryptic to me. Fully understand the Monty Python sketch (seen it before but worth a look again) but don't see what it's got to do with me struggling to read those capcha things in the use of them in general. Don't mind if I'm the butt of your joke though so if my lack of knowledge / problems with these things has given you a laugh then at least I've made somebody smile.
