Codes

Why when asking a question on ebay and some other sites the code is not just written clearly but overlapping ect to make it sometimes difficult to read.

Ahhh, the Captcha. Most have a 'recaptcha' button that you can keep clicking until you get a readable one.

I think weecalf thinks those curley letters and numbers you have to type in sometimes- for example when reportinga question on AB. It's so a machine can't read them and send in spam. But I agree that sometimes they make it difficult to distinguish between lower case b and a 9 for example

Oops, I meant b and a 6

not a captcha Naz its a THINGY, get your tech lingo right or you'll look a right eejit
