I was able to follow your directions very easily, and thankfully got rid of that annoying word verification on my blog.spurgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576503805188297240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-25311698756136426922012-03-14T15:59:28.047+00:002012-03-14T15:59:28.047+00:00Hey - thanks for that.

Your step-by-step guide worked perfectly - at least I think it did - have to get someone to check from another source!<br /><br />Thank - IanPampas2Palmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262404180921658468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-80482452799138972782012-03-13T18:02:42.859+00:002012-03-13T18:02:42.859+00:00Bernie: I am not sure why you can’t see the ‘Old B...Bernie: I am not sure why you can’t see the ‘Old Blogger Interface’ option on your gear menu, difficult to say why when I am not sat behind your computer :-) <br />The only thing I can think of is: are you using an old version of Internet Explorer? If so, try using a different browser, like Mozilla Firefox or Chrome, log in to your blog and see if you can then find the option on the menu. Internet Explorer is not a very ‘Blogger friendly’ browser…alternatively, if you don’t have any other browsers already installed on your own computer, instead of downloading and installing a new browser, try logging into your blog when you are visiting friends, family etc and see if you can do this on your blog via someone else’s computer. Might do the trick, or not, it’s the only thing I can think of. Next step would be the Blogger forum I think. <br />Good luck!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-70917187508285697112012-03-13T10:58:00.272+00:002012-03-13T10:58:00.272+00:00Helene, the second last option when I click the ge...Helene, the second last option when I click the gear symbol is - revert to Blogger profile.

I still have comment moderation on, so I'm not getting spam, but people don't have to type in those crazy codes.

Bernie: I don’t know why you can’t see the ‘Old Blogger Interface’ option on the gear icon menu, on my blog it is the second bottom choice. If you really wanted to find out about this you could post a question on the Blogger help forum, there are lots of very helpful people there answering questions.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-45840782435156306262012-03-12T13:54:47.946+00:002012-03-12T13:54:47.946+00:00Added insult to injury: typing the word verificati...Added insult to injury: typing the word verification 3 times to get it 'right' so it is accepted and<br />then getting a message that one must be 'approved by the owner'!Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-59764904452081697792012-03-12T12:32:36.199+00:002012-03-12T12:32:36.199+00:00Helene, You really went after this with a vengeanc...Helene, You really went after this with a vengeance, and I really appreciate it. You are so nice to write this post explaining to others how to remove that incredibly annoying word verification.

I know they queue us to 'check out' new changes - but until something is mandatory, it's easier to skip the important details until it becomes a problem.Shyrlenehttp://thebunniesbuffet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-47080044481596703372012-03-11T11:27:02.455+00:002012-03-11T11:27:02.455+00:00Well, I am very happy that you have managed to sor...Well, I am very happy that you have managed to sort this. I suppose it did make it more difficult for those with eyesight which is not as good as it once was. Also many would find it annoying to keep on looking for a word verification which is readable.Alistairhttp://www.aberdeengardening.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-76387365150577798302012-03-11T10:50:55.585+00:002012-03-11T10:50:55.585+00:00I don't seem to have the option of going back ...I don't seem to have the option of going back to the old interface when I click on the gear icon. There's nothing in the list that mentions the word 'interface' at all. <br /><br />I know readers have trouble sometimes with the word verification, but on the whole I haven't had many complaints about it. I guess my poor readers will just have to put up with it unless I find another way of removing it.<br /><br />Speaking for myself, I don't have much trouble with it. If I can't read it I just keep clicking until I find something I can read!BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.com
