Title: New registration method
Post by: Roph on January 30, 2008, 09:39:30 AM: This has been hindering registrations for too long :blizj:

RMRK now uses an alternate method to ensure that signups are made by humans. Either a simple sum, naming a shape or typing a color. =)

If a human is stopped by these simple puzzles and is unable to register due to being unable to solve them.. well, I'm not bothered about losing those people :lol:

For dark theme users only: If something is broken somewhere now on the dark theme, PM me explaining where x_x I had to change a silly amount of stuff to get it to work -_-

If it were a battle of intelligence between you and me, I doubt with all sincerity that anyone would bet their cash on you. ;P

Oh well, the Captcha Minigame was fun for a bit.

Kind of. See this post for an example of what was going wrong with the captcha: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,19462.msg261171.html#msg261171

Because of that some people couldn't register, so it was disabled for a while, but obvious bots started to register. So for a while it was a fight between either bots, or a half-working captcha.

This just replaces the captcha ad lets (intelligent enough) humans register fine =)

Post by: Jalkson on February 03, 2008, 02:33:02 PM: Ah, I've heard of a lot of people talking about captcha messing up. I wonder if I should look into it.

Good to know you've fixed it. :D
