captcha doesn't appear at all?
When i go to a website i have previously gone too before without problem the captcha doesn't appear at all anymore. I tried browsing the net for answers but found little help. I recently tried going through my browser settings and trying different things and apparently got it to work again after installing the new java but it didn't completely fix the problem. After closing the browser and reopening it, the captcha was no where to be found again? Help please!?

I did everything above and nothing worked. I've even tried other internet browsers to see if it would work and it still doesn't even show up in the browser. I did try and use a different computer to see if it would work on there and it did no problem. I'm pretty sure it was a Recaptcha on the website that doesn't work. I don't know any other sites that use captcha's but i did some research on websites that use captcha's and couldn't find a single captcha any where on any sites?
My bad, i forgot to restart browser and apparently it works now. Thank you very much. :)
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
When installing / updating some software, you need to close the browser first. Also, a few programs do require a re-boot. You will be told this.
okay im having the same problem again and this time i did all the above and still doesn't work? This time where the captcha is supposed to appear, all it says is recaptcha status in black bold letters and below it is more writting half cut off in black text?

I've called for more help on this.
Apparently its working again but i didn't do anything so im assuming that its a glitch or bug from the website. Thanks anyways for trying to help me.
