[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 144628, member: 3907"] That little string of letters and numbers is called a Turing test. Did you notice that the letters and numbers were kind of squiggly and distorted? Lots of websites use it as a security feature. The letters and numbers are not machine-readable, so they are verifying that a human is at the computer, rather than some sort of automated search-thingy. (Well...that's as much of the technical explanation that I can remember, from what husband-the-Network-Architect told me) Trinity [/QUOTE]
