How about a using a math question like
X=29*2 -17 linked to a *captcha* image you could display 4 images next to answers A,B,C,D

X=?
A.) 15 , Os6d5$2!
B.) 48, Kl8dfQg2
C.) 75, s3ah?l^z
D.) 41, YL2eSxpq

If you can post on this forum then you have officially passed your ACT.

Actually one of the captchas that I was looking at was one which displayed various animals. A set of 4 with a number under each. Question was... type the number under the two pandas. Problem with that was the "type the number under the Emu.." and it had 4 birds... I don't know what an Emu is...
 
Kudos on the CAPTCHA for keeping spam down, but the implementation is horrible. If I enter the wrong code I get blocked (good) but then I also loose my entire post (very bad).

You need a CAPTCHA that doesn't erase the post when it fails, because my experience with them is that I enter it wrong or it expires or something probably 30% of the time or more.
 
Strange... what browser are you using that it's dumping
your post? Just tested on Chrome & Firefox and my message
is still here. IE?
 
Came in here to complain about failing the captcha and losing my reply when I hit back on my browser. Am using Firefox 9.0.1. Gotten into the habit of doing a CTRL+A, CTRL+C before hitting post.

cdtoad - Sorry, I missed your replay. I was
probably using FF then, I'm using Chrome (16.0.912.77) now.
Let's see what happens when I enter the wrong CAPTCHA ...

Hmm, it kept my post. Didn't before. I'l try again with
FF.

BTW - the formatting buttons don't work well in Chrome. No
WYSIWYG and I can't even select text and apply formatting.

OK, now trying FF 9.0.1, let's see what happens.

Nope, I lost it when the wrong code was entered.

Tried again with IE8 and the same results, post was lost.


Hope that helps.


Interestingly, with Chrome the CAPTCHA wasn't refreshed when I hit back, and it wouldn't work even if I entered it right. I had to manually refresh it. Wiht FF & IE the CAPTCHA was refreshed when I hit back.
 
This forum isn't going to get fixed and modernized, right?

currently it doesn't work with anything other than Firefox.

We're going to be updating the forums here to Vbulletin due to long delays
and challenges in trying to re-tool an aging platform here. More to come...
