Keith J. Kacin Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 It is the background images used by the CAPTCHA (image verification).It picks one image file at random. You can upload your own to it, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMNeo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 oh wow, that's cool.ok, so if some people didn't want to use 2.2 (personally, I think 2.1.x is still better so far) could we use those for 2.1.x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Duggan Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Not without modification to the 2.1 source code, no - it's a 2.2 feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam A Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Another annoying folder. >_>Folder structure definitely needs to be cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange_Will Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Why isn't the image background randomly generated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 It's insanely difficult to try to randomly just generate a background image that's suitable...yet still have text readable. ;) It's easier to pull in a background image.The bg was generated in 2.1, but this change makes it harder or bots to "read" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawkBob Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Since IPS hass been running the new version for a while, how is the new captcha holding up? Have you noticed a drop in spam registrations?Anyone else got any input on how good it is compared to the old one? :)I've been getting about 2 members a day signing up and they're all spam accounts... it's kinda annoying!.

flesh_magick Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 It is the background images used by the CAPTCHA (image verification).It picks one image file at random. You can upload your own to it, as well.is it as easy as just uploading backgrounds and fonts? or is there somewhere we have to modify the code or something in the admin cp?

Keith J. Kacin Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Not too sure on the fonts personally, but I know you simply need to upload the new images.Edit: After testing, you can upload your own .ttf fonts as well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flesh_magick Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 thanks for the quick response! and yeah, I've been uploading background images. its quite fun to make ugly things :PI haven't tried the fonts yet. I think I may leave those. its hard enough to read them right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
