For all the time I've been doing this, I never knew my blog had that word verification thingy for comments. In fact I only looked after Pk Hrezo's excellent post on this very subject.
Maybe it's just my eyes but I always get it wrong and have to do it at least three times before finally getting it right. After that it becomes a matter of principle. So for all of you who use it, then good luck but I've turned it off.
And I gave it a serious frown to display my anger. That'll teach it.
I bet that frown got to it too. To do or not to do, that is the question.
ReplyDeletelol. That'll learn'em.
ReplyDeleteI think most bloggers who use it don't realize it's on. I'm so glad yours is off now so commenting will be so much easier. :D Thanks for that!
I've got mine turned off. It's a frustrating tool b/c more times than not I can't read them either.
ReplyDeleteHugs and chocolate,

I never understood the logic of those things. If I get them wrong (which I often do) does that mean I'm a robot? I don't want to be a robot!
ReplyDeleteIts frustrating and annoying to use - but I tend to get bombarded with so much spam when I turn it off that I spend far more time than I can afford deleting spam comments. I know the alternative is comment moderation but I think I like the idea of that less - its nicer to see a comment straight away and comment moderation sounds as time consuming to me as deleting spam comments. What I tend to do now is switch it off and on - off just after I've posted something and back on a few days later (as I usually only post once a week!)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Roger. It takes me at least 3 times every time and dampens my mood!
ReplyDeleteI love it when we agree on things!
Hugs,

Thanks for all your comments. I just blindly stride out without looking. Just like today in Oxford Street in central London. I nearly became a hood ornament for a London bus. I gave that a nasty frown and received a raised middle finger in return. I'll keep the verification thingy off and see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!! No more captchas!! I hate those things - like you I always get them wrong and often give up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we've begun a trend. If so it'll be the first time in my life.
