Heres a tip, use Notepad (or the equivalent on an Apple Mac or Linux, see I'm not prejudiced!) to type your message, and then copy and paste into the chat box here. |

It's also the 1 and I, the g and 9, the 2 and z.
Once I got all three digits on top of each other.
I like the fact that we have the freedom not to register. This is why I don't register, because I don't have to. It might seem a bit silly, but it's one of the few places on the net where this freedom is preserved. If I registered, it would seem to diminish that somehow. |

Usually with these things it's the difference between O and 0 - that's an o and zero.
Try to avoid them by refreshing.
The capcha thing has to be unreadable to an extent to stop computers scanning the image and deciphering the characters.
Registration is a convenient alternative - I can say I've never received any spam from doing so  |

The reason is to stop SPAM.
Without it we used to get hundreds of stupid spam posts a day which took ages to delete.
As Denise says, usually refreshing until you get one you can see works.
Then there is the "copy and save": trick.
Sorry, but it is needed.
And registering is a good idea. |

I copy my posts too, because it's caught me out a few times. I understand what it's for, but I don't see why the digits have to be disguised, so I keep refreshing until I get some that are readable, then hope for the best. |
