Sick of it.
I'm starting to think that is what Shutterstock wants. Maybe we are hitting the system too much and they have found a way to discourage it.

I have no problem with Capcha, it all seems pretty normal to me.
Yours Sincerely, Mr. §w€Gg Loshenberger-Forfors

5 attempts to get into the site today. I work on several sites that use captcha type devices. None are as illegible as SS

Any comment by SS on this subject?

It's a pointless irritation. None of the other sites use it. Get rid of it!!!

Now that's interesting since the words and everything all come from the same source. Imagine that? :)
Avoiding denial of service, intentionally or not:
One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. Such attacks usually lead to a server overload. In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.
This is why we have re-captcha.

What I find aggravating is when I am reading a forum thread and decide to post a reply. That triggers the login process and takes me away from the thread I'm in and I have to navigate through several pages and the captcha to get back to where I was.
Not only does this waste my time, it also wastes my data allowance as in my country Internet data has caps on the accounts and I only get a limited amount per month.
Other sites don't log me out automatically like this one, and most sites allow my computer to automatically log me in when I navigate to it.

I was about to post regarding this but then saw many people already had. The Capcha is terrible. It is unnecesary, the images half the time to complex to see right away and just a general hassle. Sometimes it takes about 3 attempts to enter the site.
If Shutterstock won't get rid of this silly thing, then at least make the text legible so you don't need to study it like some ancient scripture for half an hour before working out what it actually says.

Just took me 8 times to get it right. They really need to pick a company besides recapcha, I don;t thing half the letters are even in our alphabet.

True and they don't expect you type those. If there's a letter or word that's complete gibberish, or if the word is upside down, etc., don't type it at all. Just type the one that CAN be typed. Works for me every time. I log in and out several times a day and never even think about it. I just type what I see and it lets me in.

Just type the garbled word. Forget about everything else, even if you can read it.

Yeah when I'm bored some day I'll test both theories. I did try the "only the easy word" and then put in xxxxxx for the scrambled one. Oops, relected.
I guess it's an entertaining thread because two things I'm pretty positive about.
SS doesn't control the words or what we see and complaining will not have any effect on making it go away. Kind of like going to the laundromat and complaining about the fries you got at McDonald's. LOL

Uuuuhm, no, SS implements the captcha to their site, so complaining to get rid of it is valid.
