Ok for the last few days, every time I sign in the catchpa appears. It's becoming extremely irritating. Many of the words it throws out are hard to read, and of course any deviance and I have to re-enter my password and the catchpa all over again.
Now - I see the point of it, spammers etc. I could understand it if everyone had to put up with it (or not) but it appears selective, so how does that work?
Is there something I can do? Why is it happening now? I've had several accounts for quite some time - so it can't be that. I used to be with an ISP that never gave the same ISP address twice - I'm frustrated with it I guess. Any clue from HP would be welcome
Hi, Froggie. I don't have to do it, but I think my daughter, a new hubber, does. You're not new, so that is weird!
Hi FD... What Browser are you using?
I don't have a prob with Firefox.
So.......... You really are a serial spammer
Ooops.... sorry.. You want HP to talk to you
Well I do want HP's help PD but you know, hubbers are helpful with these things too I have tried it across three browsers - FF, Opera and Chrome, same on all, and my OS is Vista. Started a couple of days back and it's every time I sign in
@ Habee - yep ... very weird lol

I've never been able to understand why the comments capsule is optional. After all, we have the ability to moderate and deny comments if we don't like them. Seems to me the only people who wouldn't want comments are the spammers, so why do we make it easy for them?

Have you noticed that you must be signed in to click on a hubber's name to go to their hubs? This does not seem good to me; it keeps readers from spotting hubbers they may want to check out and the traffic we are after is non-hubbers isn't it? So they would never be signed in. This seems an issue...

Though I don't write too many Hubs, hardly a day goes when I don't spend a quarter of an hour on my HP account, because I think it is the coolest publishing platform ever.So I get very annoyed and hot when I find totally worthless hubs with content which has obviously been spun with an automatic...
