i am really fed up with capcha..
1) the words on black are often inelligable causing me to refresh 2 , 3 or 5 times.
2) the words are too long
i've seen some better ones out there.. simple ones..
like they show you a picture and you just choose the word describing it from , i think, a drop down box..
or systems without words on black blotches...
i think i've seen a capcha without those black backgrounds...
anyone agree ?

Do buyers have to sign in with a captcha system? If not, why do the contributors need to?

I find color coded ones are even harder to do as a colorblind submitter. I don't like the current one all as well as others I've seen either. Isn't it a little outdated?

its just a royal pain in the a$$. this is the only place i've seen the black backgound version...
i really have to regenerate when the letters merge into the background.
i am really really really fed up... i mean a random generating program (which capcha prevents) has the ssme difficulty, with background or no background.
why i have to waste time on this (and the words are crazy long).....
the only place ...
the only ....
place..

Why don't they show it only to those who abuse the service?
This is really depressing.

Yeah, it is thoroughly doing my head in, it actually puts me off logging in some days.
Get rid of it!

No, buyers don't have to sign in with a captcha system. The only reason I can think of for having the captcha system for contributors is to prevent the collection of data by automated 3rd party sites.
Some users sign up to these data collection sites to help track their image sales across multiple sites. However, in order for it to work, yo have to provide your usernames and passwords to allow the collection site to log into your account and access your download data.
I assume SS thinks this is an unacceptable security risk and the way to prevent it is by using a captcha system so these collection sites can't log in automatically.
I can't think of the names of any of the sites that offer this but there are a couple and as far as I know, none of them are able to include SS in their data collection because of the captcha system.
What I don't understand is why anyone would willingly give their usernames and passwords from their account s which contain private information, paypal/moneybooker details etc. to a 3rd party just so they can get a pretty graph of their downloads.

Just to reiterate...
This thing Pi55es me off each and every time I log in!
And it seems the words are getting more abstract with numbers and symbols, words that mean nothing making them harder to read and repeat.

One work-around is to just stay logged on — that is, don't log off when you go to look at other sites.
That works pretty well for my main computer, but you have to visit SS at least once a day to stay logged in. On my other computer at home, I'm always getting logged off against my will (even in less than 24 hrs.) and then the captcha fun begins.
If you have to refresh the captcha word because it's illegible (which is more than half the time), then Firefox forgets the log-in password, which it's supposed to remember. Aaargggh!
