After much pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth I managed to register with facebook . My problem was that their "capcha" display was not visible for some reason. I contacted their helpdesk and they eventually fixed up my registration. Only took them 3 weeks to respond but what the heck.

I've tried to make contact with some old friends today but each time I try to send a message, I'm getting this invisible capcha shite again.

It must be a setting option on my Dell PC as I was able to view the capcha symbol on my wife's laptop. Anyone know what I should do? My sanity and a cat's safety is at risk.

I'm using IE6 or 7 or something.

@lmur,

I've been registered with FB for months and have no idea what you're talking about when you refer to a capcha.

Misspelt "captcha", sorry.

@jespah,

When I just registered my new account on Facebook, there was one. I don't remember if I had to do it the first time around.

They're those distorted words that humans can decipher but computers can't. It stops automated registrations (or is supposed to, I don't know if it works).

No advice though lmur, sorry. I guess contact FB's helpdesk again. If your former contact was via email, replying to the last one may save some time vs. starting all over again.

@sozobe,

Thanks sozobe. I banged an e-mail off to them and await their response which, hopefully, occurs this side of Christmas <sigh>

since it seems to be a problem with your system rather than FB, wouldn't it be better to contact Dell support?

Ah, well, then verify your account with them. It's possible you're not accepting the cookie or the cookie was somehow damaged.
