I can see perfectly fine and it still takes me 2 - 3 times to get in. I just make sure I have my log in saved and it doesnt seem to log me out ever.

I think that he's color blind man. Thats why he can't see it easy like you.

I’m not color blind. I can see colors. However they appear different for me then they do to others. Here’s a site that provides visuals on how things appear differently to those with a Color Deficiency http://webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/2.html#vissamp. That’s a pretty nice presentation on how things look different.

I checked the site out... see, you are colorblind. I know that it is a common misconception that "colorblind" people see in Black & White. I know that is not how it works. Great site for showing people though. Do you have problems with Traffic signals? I know that my friend had trouble learning the green and red lights.

Learning colors as a color blind person is just learning the alphabet in a different language. They can point to most colors and identify it. It appears different then you but was learned in the same way. The colors I struggle with most colors, my worst are green, gold, silver and red. Unless there’s an extreme difference in color shades I normally can’t pick them up. Orange vs. red, normally. Light red vs. dark red, not a chance in hell. Apply that to a security code deal, with letters and numbers with the same color as the background only in a different shade, and then it’s invisible.

Edit: I'm fine with traffic lights, that's interesting however hehe poor guy.

I like you Brad and I want you to be able to contribute. What I don't want is to have to delete a million spam comments per day. I am sure there is a better solution out there. The only question is how to implement it such that it includes 100% of users we want while blocking 100% of the ones we don't. No easy task.

Unfortunately, for the time being, I would suggest pasting the image and tweaking the colors until it becomes readable. In the mean time, will ask and see if we can find a better, non color sensitive method of preventing spam users.

Xzin,

I pretty much figured it wouldn’t be changed. I mean coming from the majority point of view its fine, affective what you need it for. I understand where most are coming from and that’s fair. Plus I think I hate spam just as much as the next guy. No worries nothing personal, I know. :P

I had to say something because with my disability it’s that much of a feat for me to get on here without the help of others. In time maybe a different or even better system might be found. Until then I will continue to steer all Dual-boxing fans that contact me to the community as even with the *cough flaws hehe, it’s unmatched with quality because of the community.
/salute :thumbup:

on a side note bradster, i just watched my first 2 episodes of dexter yesterday, great show!

is there a way to set up the question stuff? I have seen many forums recently ask questions like "Whats 2 + 2?" or "What game do we play?" etc

Xzin, I have to ask though, why is it required for logging in? Shouldn't it be only required for setting up a new account?

Hello :)

If at all possible I'd really appreciate if the site could find some other security code verification when signing on to the site. What I am referring to is the color box with Letter and numbers you must type in. Its purpose to protect from Web spiders and such.

For those like me with a color deficiency it's almost impossible.. The other day after cycling the images trying to make out one I failed six times and gave up. It's not the first time I struggled so much that it became too frustrating to logon. I used to post a lot, but since the change I rarely visit.I’m unable to logon because I can’t see the letters or numbers in the security codes. For all those I didn’t reply back to in PM’s it was nothing personal. I just can’t normally login. Today I had a co-worker help me. It's just too much ;(


Thanks :D

Completely agree with this, CAPTCHA sucks.While I don't have any problem with colors, I do have very bad eyes, and I face the exact same problem as you do with CAPTCHA. Even the problem you describe below, with moving the camera to see icons, I have the same problem. I really hope we can basish CAPTCHA from the login, why is it there anyway? On the registration I can understand, but why on the login?

Well, CAPTCHAs can be broken so making it as hard (for the time being) for spammers to join would be the goal.

Why not a system that askes you questions about the implicit properties of an object? Something a computer would not know but a basic English speaker would know?

Nonsensical stuff that a computer can't just parse or memorize a list of and answer (at least for a few years).

What is the color of sadness? (Blue)
What does the A stand for in EULA? (Agreement)
What is the flavor or sweat? (Salty)
What is the worst class in WoW? (Paladin)
Complete the sentence: World of _____. (Warcraft)
Complete the word: Mul(__)boxing. (ti)

Etc..... :whistling:
