I noticed this week that COMC requires you to enter Captcha numbers when you login.  It's a total pain in the neck if you access the site frequently because the site requires you to login every time you open a new browser window.  So now every time I click a link to a COMC card from TCDB or elsewhere, I have to log in and enter Captcha numbers.  Apparently they are doing it to thwart bots from some nefarious activity.  

It makes the site so much less useful for me.  I'd use it not only to buy cards but also for pricing research.

I complained to their tech support but received no sympathy, just a statement they had no plans to stop using it, but that they would listen to customers.

OK TCDB members, let COMC know what an inconvenience the Captcha entry is for you!

Good I thought it was just me.  It was bad enough that they required me to change my password because it wasn't safe, even though I had used the same password with that site for over 12 years with no incidents.  Those Captchas are particularly difficult for those of us that suffer from mild colorblindness.  But I guess I'll have to persevere because I still do like shopping there. 

It has definitely reduced my time on their site.

Being retired I was in and out of it all day long.  Now only go in 2 or 3 times a day.

It's very annoying, and has basically immediately stopped me from checking Comc more than once a day. Maybe that's their goal?

If COMC would actually let me stay logged in during the same browser session, I wouldn't mind.  But when I have to re-enter my password, and now this dumb captcha, every single time? It's soo annoying

They say its for bots but it could just be tons of people on the site doing tons of searches and not actually buying anything.   Maybe trying to address that.  

Very annoying! It was bad enough when you had to answer 5+4=    but I guess people complained after getting the answer wrong 

I'm also annoyed.  It should be easy to code something like "if this device has logged in from this location at least once a day for years and years, don't bother with the captcha."

Definitely annoying
