I have been trying to send an online enquiry on a web site and when I press continue it says captcha word incorrect but it is not! Very annoying as now I can't send my enquiry which took ages to write.

I have that problem too Carol I hate the things.
There is a new captcha word and still nothing. Take a look.

You're not leaving a space between the word and the numbers are you? (Sorry if that sounds patronising - not meant to - but it's the sort of thing I do!)
And I didn't even know they were called captchas until I clicked on Kateyanne's link! :rolleyes:
Which I just found out!
Why do you have to write the enquiry letter again? Can't you just highlight it, pick it up and put it on your desktop and put it back in the box next time?
Me neither. I thought it was something to do with poetry.
;)
But I can't find where I did it again now!
I have an e-mail address on the blog, it's shown with 'AT' to replace the @.
Now I've had this since I set the blog up 18 months ago, and have never received spam e-mails- on Monday I had three. The e-mail address doesn't appear anywhere else except on the blog.
The Bookseller started having a problem with spam comments, so they've now moved to a system that uses both captcha and first registering to comment.
Rosalie it's somewhere in the settings.
I just ignore that. :)
I do enough squinting at the screen as it is without being forced to do it just to leave a remark/
Can someone please tell me if it's necessary to use one on my blog, and if so how do I stop it?

I think I've had a total of three since turning captcha off. And Blogger has binned it all - I haven't had to do anything.
