More CAPTCHAs from Hell

[loulizlee]

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.

[loulizlee]

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 will try that, swogden.  Thanks.

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.

you must get different ones than i do. mine are always easy to read. i wonder why some are different? have yoy contacted technical support?

[loulizlee]

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.)

[loulizlee]

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?
