I realize there is/has been a problem with spam bots here. But I'd rather ignore spam messages than type in a captcha before every reply. One verification per session would work.

captcha every reply might be ok, but the captcha words are STUPID

here's the previous one i got:
improving aticitiv

here's the one for this post:

STUPID!

i'm lucky with my Swiss keyboard - i have all the accented characters built-in. for mere-mortals with "normal" keyboards the task is absurd!

what's wrong with a couple of words from a normal English dictionary?

izy


PS ...even more stupid: it didn't accept my: dirdsons Könyvkiadó
so trying again with the new captcha: iricaken SR-75;

Thanks for the feedback, guys. You shouldn't have to be using the reCAPTCHA. It's only for new members. Something must be amiss. Let me go take a dig.

Can one of you try now (or whenever you're back on site) and let me know how it goes?

No, I'm still getting it and I had to refresh the captcha a few times to get all characters I could type on my keyboard

i'm still getting it, and it's pretty crappy, see attached screenshot

pray tell, what is that first character?? it looks like the canadian flag!!

oh, come on. Don't keyboards sold in Canada come with a key for the Canadian flag? ;-)

And Captchas are still active for me. Has the Quick Post option been taken away for good?

You guys probably have to log out and back in to re-set cookies.

Tried that... no joy. The good news is that the spam bots don't seem to know where the "1/4" key is either.

nope, that didn't fix it

Just tried the following;

Log out (got message that cookies were cleared)
close browser
start browser (Firefox)
log into DBForums
post here (with captcha)

whoops

*forgot to initiate plugin

:blush:

Sorry guys. Everything should be good now.

Thanks to Pat for poking me and making me look at it more.

that fixed it

Dennis Johnson? Sep 2010?

aren't you a bit new around here to be working on our beloved forum?

Funny cuz I created that account to test with. Then I got to looking at all the other settings before I actually tested. And what do you know, I had left a crucial plugin disabled while I configured a bunch of other stuff. Of course the test account posted fine after that.

I'd kill him ... but that would make me sad.
