Hi
I somehow got myself logged out and when I tried to log back in I had to fill in a nice colourful 'captcha' code.
I'm all in favour of stopping spammers but although I have normal colour vision, it took me ELEVEN attempts to get the code right!
Does the team think it could still be safe if the codes were just a litle easier to read?
Cheers.
Captcha Codes
Re: Captcha Codes
+100. I recently screwed up my password/logon (I blamed someone else for the situation), but those codes are bloody impossible to read. I almost gave up and reinvented myself.pieronip wrote:Hi

without doubt the most difficult one of these codes I have EVER had to deal with!

Re: Captcha Codes
I find that if I get logged out and forget my password it is nigh on impossible to get back in with the new password that is sent out. I can only access this site with Opera, as Firefox has lost it and although I have tried with Hans sending me new passwords they will not log in. If I get logged out on Opera I shall never be able to post again!! I have no idea what my Opera login password is!

Re: Captcha Codes
I will have to defer these questions to Hans, as he is the supreme techno wizard around here.
As to the spammers...even with the safeguards that are now in place, about 2-6 manage to get through daily. It is a rare day that I am not deleting some.......so be careful.....you might be next!

Re: Captcha Codes
Yes - that's what it tells you but in my case I actually had NOT tried to log in. I can only think that either someone had tried to kidnap my forum identity or the count of login attempts has a glitch.highway62 wrote:You have to get your login wrong a few times for the torture to begin
