You will need someone to assist you in taking the verification pic with the proper code. Unfortunately, we cannot verify you just because you have difficulties getting verified, otherwise others would abuse that and claim similar difficulties in order to bypass the verification system, and we'd have no way of knowing which claims are true.

If anyone has any suggestions on an alternative we can provide that cannot be abused, then please let me know. But it would have to tie into the existing verification system since we do not have the resources to manually verify user pics.

And rthere is no way I can bring anyone in to assist with this so we need to come up with another option. you folks have my email address from which I can send you another photo of myself that should serve as sufficient verification. I would not want to not use this site because a solution cannot be arrived at. @Andres:

The IPhone reported verbably when my face was in the frame when I attempted to photograph the verification code it did not report what was in the frame either my face or the paper another issue of uncertainty would have been whether the paper was right side up or not. I am also unsure whether the camera on the IPhone 5 could do any OCR or whatever would be needed to bring the code in to the frame so that whomever has mark 1 eyeballs on the document could see it.@WalkSoftly1:

@wa4wga: Well that explains it lol.....Though it doesnt help your current situation, I dont have a verified pic either and it hasnt hurt my site experience. Other than telling u that, or getting someone to help u with the verification pic, Im sorry to say I have no other suggestions for u at the moment....but Ill be thinking on it.

@wa4wga: take your pic with verification code in the mirror so you can see the whole picture,as long as you and code are clear,shouldn't be a problem

Let me do 2 things here I can't see therefore I don't have a mirror. Secondly I suspect the IPhone camera app or voice over was confused by the paper being in the frame which is why it did not report what it was focused on. Finally, there is a contact restriction setting which bars contact attempts from users without verified pictures. @chunkymonkey67:

Ah good afternoon I've been to your side of the big ditch on a number of occasions. To the matter at hand I have suggested a solution early on in the discussion.
