A friend has asked me to critique, and post comments about her portfolio, but when I try to add a comment I receive this message:

"Whoops spam-foiling code didn't match"

What gives??

    Link? Code?

    Is that like a secret handshake?

    Link (web address) to the gallery so that we can see which gallery you are talking about

    Code: When you enter your comment, below the comment box, you will see something like "To foil spammers, enter this code" followed by an image and a box. You have to enter the text shown in the image into the box
    This mechanism (called CAPTCHA) ensures that the comment is being put by a human rather than a spamming bot

    Where's the gallery and page you are trying to comment on? We need to see the page.

    The gallery is here: http://portfolio.jcdill.com/2008.

    It doesn't matter which month or photo I try to comment on.

    Thanks for you help!!!!!!

    Andy! Long time no talk, eh?

    I searched for issues with making comments on photos and found this thread.

    Here's my problem. The captcha image code isn't showing up at al. And when I click on "code unreadable" link, nothing happens there either. headscratch.gif

    here's a screenshot:

    Thank you in advance for your wisdom and insight! bowdown.gif

    howdy back!

    I just spent time looking through my site and apparently the comment issue is on all of them so I picked this one randomly:

    http://digitalfaerie.smugmug.com/gallery/7113484_4YoN8#456112006_uaEUR

    I use a PC, and when viewing in IE or FF, it both looks the same (i.e. the captcha image text before the box is missing)

    er, is that enough? :D

    Hey! I deleted all the custom CSS I had put in previously....oh ages ago and now it appears.

    Wow do I feel sheepish. But, if it makes you feel any better, just talking to you apparently makes me smarter. thumb.gif
