Word Verification on Commenting

When I first checked the blogs today, I got a prompt in the comment area to type in words to prove I'm not a bot.  I got the same prompt from all blogs.  I checked our settings. Word verification was off.  I turned it on, then off again.  That didn't help.  Then I realized that I get the prompt only when I'm not signed in.  I signed in, and the prompt disappeared. 

I think this is another anti-bot measure.  I just wish Blogger would give us some notice of changes. 

Or maybe it's a screw-up, but it's not our screw-up.

  1. I saw that first thing this morning...it also didn't show me as logged in. Once I typed the characters, it showed me logged in. Boomers, it had me confused. Not hard to do on a good day, let alone these days when I'm stressed to the max!

  3. My experience was the same as Beejay. I was startled but it was easy to sign in.
