Having trouble with captcha images ... always wrong

Anyone else having this problem? I can't get into any site that requires Captcha-like image verification. I'm always getting a error that what I'm typing isn't matching the image. After 20 different images, I'm pretty sure it's not user error.

HI,

I did too.. last night a couple times.

Try deleting cookies for any site that requires image verification.

From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab. Click, "Show Cookies". Delete any image verification site related cookies. Then select the Autofill tab from the Preferences pane, click the Edit button next to, "Other forms". Delete any site related url's, click Done.

Relaunch Safari.

If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/

Move the "cache.db" file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari and try an image verification site.
