Thanks Steve,
I'll try the solutions which you mention. However I, personally
don't see why we, as visually impaired persons should have to go
through convoluted hoops to solve captchas (e.g. going to websites
to solve them). I get especially irritated with sites which offer
purely visual captchas, especially as there are, as I say audio
alternatives availible.
Thanks again for the info.
Kind regards,
Kevin
