Title: More CAPTCHAs from Hell
Post by: loulizlee on August 17, 2013, 04:27:00 pm
I have been trying to solve the puzzle for the 15 cent clicks for the past 15 minutes.  I have gone completely through at least 30, so now I am past irritated, I am MAD.  Why do we have to solve these things in the first place to get the reward we have already earned?  I HAVE HAD IT!  I'm going to try to earn enough some other way, cash out, and then quit this site.  I really liked the new look, but actually getting anywhere is horrendous.

By the way, the last time I tried it, it went back to telling me I need to visit 4 spots and 1 sponsor, AGAIN!

That is most frustrating!  I've had a few sets while listening to RL, but not with the $.15.  It's bad enough you can't read the captcha, but to have to redo the $15 ptc because it took more than 5 minutes to complete the captcha, is salt in the wound.

Question:  did you just refresh the captcha until you got one that you thought you could read or did you try each one that came up?
I decided that if I got these unreadable captchas again,  I would just refresh them until I got one I could read.  Fortunately (for me), they haven't come up.  But I'm sure they will show up eventually.

I figure that the captchas are in a circuit and eventually the unreadable ones will run their course.

I tried many of them and I refreshed Captcha many, many times.  I did not realize that the 15 cent one went back to 0 after 5 minutes.  That is why I kept having to start over again.  That is INDEED aggravating.

Hopefully you are right and they will run their course.

I've noticed that it starts over when I've been involved in something else and forget to continue to click the various ads.  If you continue to run into the unreadable captchas for the last ad, periodically go back to the basic page (assuming you have it in another tab) and click on another topic.  I think that will keep the process alive while you get a captcha that works.

I worked on CAPTCHAs for the 15 cent PTC for 30 minutes earlier today, trying them over and over again and even going out and starting all over again.  I finally was so frustrated I stopped.  I went back to it this afternoon and have already started over again twice.  I've been work on it for more than 30 minutes.  This is RIDICULOUS!

I'm sorry you have to deal with that frustration. I usually just get a commercial for the 15 cent click, like tide or crest. The code is very easy. I wonder why you get different ones than me? Maybe someone can answer this question.

The captchas can drive you crazy!  It makes me want to boycot the sponsors, which there are a lot.

Today I'm not only dealing with the CAPTCHAs from hell, I had finally gotten to the 5 cents to get into PTC, and it told me I needed one more.  I went back to RL and finally got another one cent, to make a total of six, and it is still telling me that.  I am back to RL again.  I think they just don't like me.  :'(

In case anyone wonders what the evil CAPTCHAs look like, here is one.  (I hope it will show up.)

Sorry, that didn't work.  I guess I did it wrong.

I always get the captchas that are basically TV commercials that ask you to type a phrase like "Tide cleans better" in the box. Those are always easy to read. Do you not get those?

That's pretty awful. It looks like "cRosLee" but I have no idea. Who comes up with these anyway?

I click the Refresh button and get more of the same kind.

i usually get easy captchas that actually form words or phrases.... but once in a while they mix it up and its just a bunch of random characters

Today I got into PTC but could not get the codes right after starting over from the beginning three times.  I also have not been able to get the code for the 2 cent puzzle.

Hahaha dont get your hopes too high ive been doing this too and never get anything so oh well dont waste time anymore..

Post by: loulizlee on August 31, 2013, 03:38:33 pm
I have decided just that.  I am not going to waste my time anymore.  I just feel upset that I have done so many clicks and RL that I have not gotten credit for.  But my blood pressure is more important.  I'm giving this up as well as one other site that uses these codes.  Not worth the agony.

I'm wondering what browser do you use? I'm asking because I'm just trying to figure out why you get different codes than I do. I usually watch a commercial that tells me to type in a phrase. That code that you showed us is ridiculous. Not even a genius could figure that one out. Have you tried switching browsers?

They are computer  generated  to  stop   idiots from cheating.  You can  always refresh  to  get  another captcha.  :peace:

I have refreshed so many times I've lost count.  That is what causes me to stress.  I refresh and refresh and sometimes they get even worse.

P.S.  I know the reason they use CAPTCHAs.  What I can't figure out is why some people get easy ones, like those with ads, and other people do not.  I have not been cheating.
