Re: Refresh Captcha?
A smart way IMHO would be to leave the decision on this balance to admins. I mean to make the number of retries customizable from 1 (current setting) to n. I would set this to 3-5 on my board. On the other hand nothing stops the bot to refresh the whole page while it is not so comfortable to humans, right?Kellanved wrote:It would help bots.

Wrong. The number of attempts is configurable; reloads count as failed attempts.

Re: Refresh Captcha?
So the decision on this was that we don't care about a users experience and we want them to have to refresh the page - potentially losing their entered information, and receiving that annoying re-post browser message?
There should be a compromise that would allow a user to refresh the image, but only every x seconds, and possibly with a maximum number of refresh attempts.

Re: Refresh Captcha?
No, the user can submit, which will leave the entered information mostly intact. If you offer a way to render a new CAPTCHA with the same solution, you might just as well disable CAPTCHAs alltogether - it's the same result.

Re: Refresh Captcha?
An AJAX-based reload button would be nice. The solution of course should be changed too.
