question?? about numbers?????????

Ok, I've wanted to ask about this for a long time, but always stopped myself, but tonight.. Why,not???????? What do the math equations at the end of your public profiles mean.. such as 2+10=10, or 2+10+12,etc.etc. ?????? I've never been able to figure it out, or find out. Will someone 'clue me in"?????

I think it is supposed to prevent spam bots from signing up for the site and then flooding us with ads to websites that would make your eyes bleed.

I know that it was added after a lot of people signed up, so some people have the "default" answer, not the real one.

you need to go in and manually change it to the correct answer, so they know you are real and not a spam bot

Ok.........then explain why it says this, in your user profile, next to the box ?

"What is 2 + 10?
Please enter the answer to the math question so we can assure you're not some automated spambot; thanks!"

shygal -
that's what it's for on registration.
you'll see both answers after you've been here and grandfathered in. That is the 'no, you don't" I was referring to.

It won't hurt to do it, that I know of.

Angie


I'm back - --

So..... What is 2 + 10?
This is thread in Admin Forum where it's been discussed before. There's more info in that thread for you. Better that what I've said.
