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.
