Guest Abqgram Posted December 19, 2011 at 09:11 PM Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 at 09:11 PM VERY attractive site but the security check is SO difficult! I can't tell the shape of someof the letters, or whether it is needed to use caps and non-caps - the colors add to the confusion. like right now there is what looks like an upside down T, but it could be a small y. then there is a 3, very clear but the next letter looks like a fancy 3 but has no really recognizable identity. Upside down E? And a T behind a Capital R, unless it is an upside down L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside down E? And a T behind a Capital R, unless it is an upside down L.The security check is certainly inconvenient, however, it became necessary as the previous security check proved to be unsuccessful in deterring spam bots. If you intend to use the site regularly, it is probably best to become a member. You will need to pass the security check at signup, but then you'll never need to deal with it again.

Josh Martin Posted December 20, 2011 at 11:00 PM Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 at 11:00 PM This is what an upside down E looks like ==> E. Presumably, "backwards E" is what the poster was going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanh49 Posted December 21, 2011 at 04:18 AM Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 at 04:18 AM Presumably, "backwards E" is what the poster was going for.But, an upside down capital E and a backwards Capital E look the same.Write a capital E on some paper and then turn the paper upside down.

When you're mentailly turning that piece of paper 'upside down', you're actually introducing a rotation, in order to keep looking at the same side of the piece of paper.

David A Foulkes Posted December 22, 2011 at 12:15 AM Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 at 12:15 AM Ha! I abandoned a half-dozen posts on that very same explanation (same-face rotation vs axis flipping), just to avoid being the one to go "on and on" about it.For example, an upside down b looks like a p.bpA backwards b looks like a d..bdA rotated b looks like a q..bq"C∀p┴ɔµa" - new from Milton Bradley!
