I mean, geez, your blog must be HUGE).<BR/><BR/>Right now, I don't input any word verification at all.<BR/><BR/>Before, I was as frustrated as you guys, having to reinput about 3 times, before the WV "took".<BR/><BR/>I presume it's because New Bloggers are trusted more, somehow? Perhaps as proof that they've shown they're not spammers, but legitimate bloggers.<BR/><BR/>I dunno. Is it happening to anyone else?<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Victoriavbspurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992013640447117624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-31419237257903084712007-02-08T10:32:00.000-06:002007-02-08T10:32:00.000-06:00"That's why I suggested telling Blogger.

MM's idea of a timer may have some validity there - after all, most posts take at least minutes to write.<BR/><BR/>Another new problem - my id is an Old Blogger id (because I haven't moved my own blog to New Blogger), and I have to keep signing in, even though I am already signed in to Blogger. I suspect that this post will be initially rejected for that reason.Bruce Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815293023158025662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-61472701465663914062007-02-08T07:47:00.000-06:002007-02-08T07:47:00.000-06:00I'm enjoying the non word verification while it la...I'm enjoying the non word verification while it lasts. It seems like new blogger changes the word much faster than old blogger, so by the time you read, and respond, the word has changed. And you have to re-enter.MadisonManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212179466758420208noreply@blogger.com
