China J Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well the title pretty much says it. Be nice if there was a refresh Captcha Image Button next to the Captcha Image. I hate it when I register at an IP.Board and get the info wrong and have to redo the password stuff and etc. Just be nice to have a choice to refresh image in those times where the letter L or S is confused with I or 5 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this happens a bit in IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some kind of button would have been more feasible or highlight the text in bold red or something. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirov Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 we don't need actually a button, maybe a message beside the captcha image "you can click on the image to refresh the captcha" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertimber2009 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 IIRC, if it doesn't show an image, IE shows a Red X. A user might then figure out that they can click it and have one appear. But I believe Firefox leaves it as a blank white space, and Opera the same or a black box. If thats true, they might not know anything is supposed to be there.

China J Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 we don't need actually a button, maybe a message beside the captcha image "you can click on the image to refresh the captcha"Lol there is already text there that says that... So yes I think a button is warranted even more so now that you just made that statement which indicates you missed it too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 How can IPB force people to actually read? :P That's beyond our capabilities. Still, Rikki will be redesigning everything for 3, so he may have some ideas in mind ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think I've seen a Mod that will do something like that. It forces an X-long-seconds "wait" at a predetermined page, before they can go to the main page. With judicious use, "good" members won't complain. And those that try to bypass it for whatever reason, just get forced back to the page, and the timer reset. Those that think they're "too important" to read the rules or announcement, are those I wouldn't want in my system anyway. RV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I vote it uses an elaborate system of tiny transparent images with onhover javascript functions that detect the motion of your mouse in combination with a timer that starts from when the user clicks on the CAPTCHA input field. These two detection methods combined will be able to intelligently work out when the user is unable, or having problems reading the CAPTCHA and if it thinks they are having problems, present them with a popup (or maybe a more subtle message that will appear below the CAPTCHA) reading "Are you having problems? Click here to get a new CAPTCHA image." Shouldn't be too hard to do :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
