missing captcha
Has anyone else had the experience of dealing with a registration form (most often for an email service but occasionally for something else) that requires solving a captcha as the final step, only to find that the captcha pic is nowhere in evidence? It is frustrating. I have occasionally written to an admin inquiring about this, but have never received a satisfactory reply. Can anyone speculate as to what the technological explanation for such a phenomenon may be? Thanks.

Possibly try a different browser?

I doubt any use flash anymore, so it's likely browser settings or ad blockers. Which browser?

Without knowing the site and which browser you are using, it’s hard to come up with a likely solution. Here is what I would try:

I had a similar problem when the site didn't update the captcha, so it simply wasn't possible to register anymore.

They can just be unreliable in my experience. The captcha may appear if you refresh or start from the beginning.
