Default (OT) Are there any *NEWS* Websites that still post photos?

I never heard of feedly before, but as soon as I went to feedly.com, I

I just went there with Opera 12.15. No captcha.

I just went there with IE v10. No captcha.

Conclusion, don't blame the website, blame UE (user error).


"User Error"?. Lets see, I open my browser, type in feedly.com and poke
the enter button. As long as I type the URL correctly, there is little
chance of user error.

I tried it on Firefox, Seamonkey, and K-Meleon. ALL of them wanted the
captchas...

Now, if you include the fact I am on dialup, that may have something to
do with it. Yet, I have tried to go to some websites at a WIFI spot,
using my cellphone, and have also been given a captcha page.

Like I said, any site that even has captchas is not worth my time....


What platform and browser are you using? Like DadiOH, I went
there with Win 7 and IE, poked around, did a search, no captcha.
IDK why it would be environment sensitive, but something very
odd is going on. And as said before, it's rare that a website
uses captcha just to view it. I've seen some that do, but typically
it's for making a post, creating an account, etc.
