Site Security Code

[Bradster]

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

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 stay logged in, so I don't have to log back in... then again, I'm the only one using my computers.

If you change the CAPTCHA to something more simple then bots will sign up.

(CAPTCHA = Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart)

I suppose if someone with enough PHP knowledge and knows their way around Burning Board you can do a basic one where you choose alliance or horde like "Which one is the orc?" and click it.

And then someone can do a pixel color test on one coordinate to figure out which it is without human interaction. I agree though, CAPTCHA is a pet peeve of mine. Every time I fail one of those because the letters chosen aren't clear enough for a human to read, it makes me want to toss my keyboard out a window.

Why the hell do we have a CAPTCHA to sign in anyways? It's a security feature to keep out automated sign-ups, not an inaccessibility feature designed to keep out your real users.

That�s a very great idea to invert the colors. Your receive the Mac Gyver title for the day. However it�s a bit of an extreme to logon to a message board, perhaps there�s a happy medium somewhere.

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 do struggle in games with it as well. More so EVE than any other. Some of the cloudy backgrounds make the active icons invisible so I have to continue to turn the camera away from the clouds to see what i'm doing.

In wow sometimes I had that trouble. If you watch my Mage video you can see it. While my friend and I, Pally and Mage vs. Hunter and Mage. We killed the hunter but I stood next to the Mage for a while before I saw him, you can see the delay of me just standing there. He was pretty much invisible to me for a while. I enjoyed hunter and lock because the pet would at as a guide on where the NPC is. As often times I didn�t see them. Friends always used to make fun of me and call me an agro magnet because any where we went I�d get agro somehow. Truth be told reason why is I just couldn�t see them.
