Please solve the captcha...
Only I can't, because I'm logging in from my cellphone... Have you ever tried to drag and drop stuff from a cellphone, or better, a touch screen?!
Not to mention that the same tests are recurring and therefore seem kinda pointless
Please can we have a recaptchaand not a homebrew system?
Thanks.

reCAPTCHA has been cracked and is therefore worthless. The current CAPTCHA does the job at letting the majority of humans in and keeping the majority of the bots out; until the bots crack it, it's staying.
If your phone browser doesn't support the CAPTCHA properly, get a better phone browser. If your phone doesn't support any such browsers, get a better phone.

Re: You have entered your password in to many times...
Oh that's a cop out if I ever saw one!
You can't use it on a mobile device! It's got bugger all to do with what phone I'm using... That it happens to be a One X with Opera Mobile and that I've tested it on the stock browser and that you ignored the fundamental flaw I pointed out (You can't drag and drop on a touch screen), pretty much tosses your argument in the trash!
Why don't you try it on your phone!?
Recaptcha has been patched... It doesn't repeat the question... that makes it instantly better than the homebrew one you implemented!
It's like making your own combination lock to secure your offices because someone picked the abloy but only people with small fingers can actually work the dials and ignoring the complaints from the other 20% of your employees

The points made in my previous post still stand; the CAPTCHA will not be changed.
End of discussion.

Re: You have entered your password in to many times...
Perhaps I am missing something, but what does the ability to drag and drop have to do with captcha?

Re: You have entered your password in to many times...
If you log in via your PC and then via your phone again, won't you be able to enter your password without having to solve the captcha?
Also, I was not aware that recaptcha has been "cracked" and rendered useless?

For the record, I used to use reCAPTCHA here until around that time -- we figured out that it had been broken after a large and persistent surge in spambot registrations, and some quick Google searches confirmed it. It went unnoticed by the regular users due to new posters having to have their first post approved by a moderator, but it was a massive admin/mod headache until I swapped the CAPTCHA out.

Yes, but Google patched it before these researchers even gave their talk on the method, apparently.Ron2K wrote:Circa January 2011.Bladerunner wrote:Also, I was not aware that recaptcha has been "cracked" and rendered useless?

That was more recent - the flaw that was being exploited was with the audio assistance aspect and google have patched the security hole relating to that.

Re: You have entered your password in to many times...
Why do you need to use the Captcha that often? I use both the PC and Opera Mobile and never have to use it. The problems seems restricted to registrations on mobile phones.
