Just been trying to download a couple of programmes off the CPC power site and came across there new anti bot system. Which gives you a code to repeat, I tried 3 times to input the code , which it didn't seem to like and now I am locked from downloading stuff from there! What a pain in the arse.
Two problems now, how do I get the ability back to download stuff  and what am I doing wrong with the code? Anyone else dealt with it yet?

You have to type the letters in the good order ;)

Can't for the life of me work out what they are after , with this code? Never come across this style before ....
Eg.

UWKMG

What the fuck do they want .......K U G W M? ???
I am gonna feel a right burk when it is pointed out .

No, W (2nd char), M (4th char), U (1st char), G(5th char), K (3rd char)

May be it's case sensitive...

Is this the right way? I am sure I have tried this method , and it still did not work.

Please, change the captcha for something that our poor brains don't have to decipher.

Works for me, just tried it again.

Just tried it, possibly the worst CAPTCHA system I've ever seen...

Glad it wasn't just me, It's probably just so that he can show off his cool little  Lock out screen^^^^

Who, me? :D  (this goes to the screenshot above)

Puresox

I wasn't insinuating you had got it wrong  :D , just recognised that it was a little ambiguous .

Gryzor

I'm hoping he's going to change it soon...

Token

It's really a pain...
Maybe there's no captcha when you are registered there??
I think most people want to download a game, easy and friendly  ;D
At least a no brain captcha if there's one. This one is just terrible...

Puresox

Yeah, I can understand them wanting to use one , but is it really necessary it being so convoluted ?

Solve? That's just an integral formula. To ask for a solution would be as stupid as to ask for a solution of X2

That makes it even more hilarious. YOU WON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILE EVER.

That's easy, since it doesn't have a time limit...

Please don't feel that way! I was very confused as to why the CAPTCHA didn't work for me until it was explained by IanS and Devilmarkus (in another thread).

As others have already said, it is a very ambiguous puzzle and I hope Kukulcan replaces it with something that is easier to understand ASAP!

This is a clear example of a programmer doing something that only he feels comfortable with  ::)
