Hey, good news for anybody who might occasionally want to comment on this blog, but who has been entirely too frustrated by the sometimes impossible CAPTCHA tasks.
A couple of people in the last month or so have told me they were able to comment without having to deal with one, which confused me, because I hadn't changed any settings, and hadn't been getting any spam. (And, believe me, the last time I turned the CAPTCHA off, the spam was awful.) Well, here's the explanation!
So since all you have to do now is to click a box, there is no reason not to talk to me. Got anything interesting to say?

Interesting. I have to say, in the past I've always thought you'd have to be a robot to crack half of the CAPTCHAs on this blog. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, they were awful. Asking you to prove you're a human by giving you a task that's very difficult for humans to do is... not optimal. :)
DeleteJust to prove I wasn't exaggerating, here's one I got at the blog less than a year ago: http://puppetwrangler.tumblr.com/post/80019391580/seriously-who-but-a-robot-could-read-this
DeleteI can read that, but I think it's only from lots of practice at the optometrist's office. :)
DeleteSee? That was easy, wasn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteIt's odd, but I haven't been asked to click any box stating I am not a robot. Is there something that Blogger knows about me that I don't?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it knows you're a robot, but thinks you're one of the good ones.
DeleteMore seriously, maybe it has something to do with being logged into a google account? I'm not at all sure.
