    Anybody for a game of what square am I thinking of?

    Those captcha puzzles are ridiculous. I can spend 5 minutes trying to solve them sometimes. "Click the cars"... ok, so when you say "car" does that include the vans and the 4x4's? "Click the street signs"... do you mean the edges that run over into the other squares as well? No - I got another captcha? Well which squares did you want me to click exactly? "Click the store front" - ok, so the pictures are so blurry that I can't tell which are store fronts.... oh damn, I took too long solving puzzles and now I have to wait an hour for another captcha...

    There's a massive irony that automated computers can probably solve the captcha much easier than any human can.

    I gave up with the pictures and stick to the audio instead. Much easier.

    recaptchas are easy to solve, ouo is used widely to save uploaded links from abusing, so you have to solve alot of them sometimes.

    its a lot easy as the captchas we had to solve ten years ago, remember rapidshare with their cats? or uploaded in 2009 with entering what you see on the picture? sometimes you had to enter chinese stuff, those we so much harder to solve.

    cars does not include vans, but vehicle does, bus is also separate. i found them great and hey you provide your power to help AIs.

    a couple of weeks ago the images started taking like 4-5 seconds to flip, and just didnt want to be resolved, lasted a few days and was discussed elsewhere. since then they must have fixed it, shouldnt take more than a couple of tries to solve, depending on screen size.

    Usually takes more than a couple of tries. Sometimes it can be like 5 or more times on the same puzzle, whilst it reloads extra cars or whatever, and then it loads a new Captcha and we go again. I'm always scratching my head wondering if I just put the wrong answer or are they just mocking me? Certainly feels like mocking.

    Feels like Chinese pictures that I'm clicking on. Its just going seriously backwards. As I said, it has to be easier for computers to be programmed to recognise what is in the picture than for humans to decipher, or to work out exactly what it is that they want us to click. I've clicked one once just a couple of squares with street signs and not the edges and it let me straight in, so I'm fucked if I know what they want exactly. I click all of the squares and I'll be sat there all day dribbling away, click, click, click...

    Oh and here's a proper technicality... When it asks for street signs, aside from the bits that are a tiny bit inside another square and so technically include a street sign, how about the post that holds the sign up? Technically that square has a street sign in it, but not the directions/instructions. And where do street signs begin and end? Is a sign on any post a street sign, because technically its on the street somewhere, which makes it a "street sign".

    I've seen some pavements/sidewalks that have been classed as roads before. I only knew that because I was told to click the missing square and that was the only one remaining that could come close to qualifying. And I've seen it again since, so it has to be pretty easy for a computer to learn those squares... and better than I ever could. I've just been clicking street signs this morning and after 5-10 attempts it gave up and gave me cars. Maybe I need to know which dictionary they are using. Are Udemy running courses on Captcha solving yet?

    sure enough just after my last post above it started again, taking forever to change tiles and also not even offering solving, just skip. lasted a few hours and is back to normal now, for me.
    seems to me also there are varying difficulties on different sites, uploaded being easyest/more forgiving than say audioz. may be just me.

    again, clearing the browser image cache helped some, i was getting a lot of buses before..

    So you failed the turing test. Are you sure you aren't a machine?

    well, i've had it. Just wasted 15 minutes and still couldn't get in. So, I'll either do without or use alternate services. Uploaded has just lost a former customer. I'm delighted they have so many paying participants that they can afford to treat registered and occasional paying customers in such an insulting and offensive manner. Good luck to them.

    they should be banned, uploaded do not offer a free service currently.
    captchas on audioz can be solved in 1 go, on uploaded almost never. obviously they can choose difficulty levels for the captchas. i believe they cheat or are not able to handle it.

    usually when a company starts bitching like that, they are on the brink.
    i would not invest at this time.

    Please don't ban uploaded, there is a glitch with my credit card, every time I buy a suscription (monthly/year/day, all the same), it work for one or 2 day, then it's canceled. Annnoying thing is I have to renew my suscription every day or two, good thing is that they don't charge anything
    It's probably my bank who cancel the operation but still pretend to accept it when I do it, but meanwhile, got free uploaded since one year (after 3 or 4 year of paying suscription) :)

    A simple solution, buy something cheap, upload it to sister site using upload, share it... then from ur downloads that you get, upgrade ur account to a premium one, by using what has been dwnloaded, it doesnt take much to be able to upgrade from a free account to a one month.
    Then you wont have any captchas to worry about... :winker::winker::winker::mates:
