New CAPTCHA

[Lieutenant Clone]

I cant read the first picture on this thread, and tbh, i prefer the old ones, these are quite complex.

indeed, when i was signing up here, i kep on pressing F5 till i got a pic i could actualy read.

Ahh but see thats the problem. The old CAPTCHA is as good as no CAPTCHA, because it has be cracked and re-cracked.

wel if there going to be that, im afraid i wil probably disable them on my board, as if i cant read them, i spect a few others cant. I woud muchly prefer the older ones.

I think that the simple logic puzzles are a step forward, I dislike Xore's Number Grid thing, as its rather annoying to get to grips with, but I suppose its missing the text with it. I really like the logic puzzle David devised

David devised a logic puzzle?

I think he means the logic CAPTCHA, the one that requires you to do the shape matching.

That was done by Xore, not David.

Now suppose you get a whole bunch of people who can't read the CAPTCHA, and the administrator ends up having to do this over and over again.

If this gets that much of a burden, you are either

• running a very large board and you should offload the task to a dedicated person (one of your existing cisually impaired users might be inclined to help);
• running a board for visually impaired people, in which case you'd probably want to turn off the CAPTCHA and deal with spam registrations instead.

/me bows down in honour of the great Camel Tamer.

My bad lol.. I thought he had written it as he presented it first within the thread, good job though Robert.

Cant there be an option whether you have the "improved" which is in my opinion rubbish, new CAPTCHA, or keep the old CAPTCHA from phpBB2 which is at least readable

[Highway of Life]

I voted for that as well... but alas, it was shot down.

They said it was too easy to break, but I don't know... it seems like every CAPTCHA that has been submitted has been cracked. It must just be a rank of difficulty.

Ultimately it's up to David

I still would like a more readable option, per reasons already posted by FOA

My idea is to be sure that no spammer or bot could log in is to create a system with a question and 3 or 4 answers linked to images, all customizable by users to have a very large number of possibility. Exemple :

Select the animal which can fly :
