Hello rusty
I tried "Safari" to see how it works. Apart from the awful adverts, the captcha just has a tick

It is strange how some browsers need one tick, and others require picture searching and ticking!

Update, Rusty!
My previous post to you (24317) crossed with that of yours to Cerasus, so you may not have seen it?
I have just sent an email to Norah, apprising her of the situation and telling her also of Thomas and 63acornwall's concerns.
It can do no harm......and may perhaps achieve something....?
I noted what Cerasus said about only needing a tick, but I am still battling with pictures galore!
I can cope with one picture per post......... but a frenzied onslaught is driving me insane!

Hello, Elle!
That's a pity you are having so much problems with Captcha.
Hopefully Norah and/or Ash may be able to help you.
I am not long home.
It is quite cold out tonight.
Saw a gritter out earlier!

Hi, Rusty!
I have had a quick email from Norah, saying that she will speak to Ash tomorrow.
We will see if anything helpful can be done.
Yes, it does feel a tad chillier here, too...and it is raining again!
A gritter?
That does not forbode well.
So, where have you been at this time of night?
I have had an evening of phone calls!
First an old school friend rang......that was good, lovely to talk to her.
(We have obviously known each other a very long time!)
Then our son followed hard on her heels......as well as being our WA today, it is also his birthday!
And finally of course, I spoke to my cousin.
All is well up North.

Good morning, Elle!
Cold but dry here, think it will be a nice day!
Let us hope Norah and Ash can find a solution to the Captcha problem, that some are experiencing, without the return of the spam.
I was out at ASDA last night.
I thought my television set was ready to turn up its toes.
It was not responding to remote control signals, and I decided to replace the batteries in my remote control (hence my visit to ASDA) and it is working perfectly well again.

Good morning, Rusty!
A lovely day here -- blue sky and sunshine...... with a temperature of 11C
I am glad you sorted out your remote control
Certainly cheaper than having to buy a new TV!
It took four sets of pictures just now to respond to Norah's thread...... three of traffic lights, one of motorbikes.
I am fed up to the back teeth, as the expression goes!!!
I wonder what it will take to send this?

Hello, Elle!
My car was covered in ice this morning, but pavements are OK.
I got Asda own brand batteries.
One third of the price of the branded batteries.
It looks as if you will have to get used to Captcha.
I had to find mountains today.
That's a new one!

Hi, Rusty!
Goodness, it must very cold up your way!
It is surprisingly mild here, but is now raining......AGAIN!
I might ask Santa for a canoe for Christmas?
(That is, if he has any elves and reindeers remaining to help him deliver, after the recent hail of bullets.....)
i have been fiddling about with other browsers this morning....
I already had Firefox, Chrome and AVG on my computer, but all are ad- riddled, so I decided to try Opera!
Well....having downloaded Opera to my computer, it then took me ages to discover how to find, and then activate, the built- in adblocker!
And even now, of course , I do not know will happen when I - and Opera - encounter Captcha very shortly, when I try to send this......
All my effort may well have been in vain!
Crosswords? Who has time to do crosswords?

Hello, Elle!
It is quite cold here.
Going down to minus 1 overnight.
I do not have Opera, but I do have Opera Mini, and there are Captcha pictures on that.
I like Opera Mini as a browser, though.
Does Firefox not have Adblock as an "add-on"?
I thought it did, but I do not take to the Firefox browser, so I am not sure.
So far, Chrome is the only one that I have found, to only require a tick.
I have finished my puzzle!
