Happy Jack Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 An email I sent five minutes ago to Studiospares: I've bought loads of stuff from you over the years, both online and from your old shop on the North Circular Road. If you want me to ever buy anything else from you, I suggest you get rid of the attached insulting nonsense. And do it bloody quickly. There's a lot of competition out there.

yorks5stringer Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Are you a fugitive from justice and have thus avoided captcha for many years? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I've had this, it's becoming a joke, in my case I had to type letters that were completely illegible, and when I hit the 'speak the letters' link, it took me to a magical place where even single letters spoken deliberately are completely incomprehensible, I was in fact introduced to seven new letters in the now 33-letter alphabet. I genuinely believe that the people setting up these systems hate their employers/clients so much that they purposefully make the captcha thing impassible on occasion 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, no Captchas were injured in the making of this topic, and I've had an account with these clowns for years. Given how many hundreds of competitors are out there on't Net trying to take away their customers, I am genuinely staggered at this degree of incompetence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The new v3 Google reCaptcha doesn't actually provide a test for the human to solve. It looks at what you are logging in from, and makes an assessment of whether or not you might be a bot. There is no fallback test it seems.

Switching off/on, clearing my cache, deleting cookies, nowt makes a difference. Ah well, the only reason (since they moved their shop from the North Circular to Luton) I continued to make them my first-choice supplier was a certain misplaced brand loyalty. No matter ... there's hundreds of the buggers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
