    I will change it in the 0.2.0 release.

    @Dinoboff: just wanted to let you know that my ISP recompiled PHP with the FreeType libraries, and now CAPTCHA works like a charm! - Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Now, a little request: in the next version, would you be able to include also an (obfuscated) link to the administrator's email address? - this is very useful, as usually when the person trying to register has a visual disability, they use screen-reading software. Once again, many, many,many thanks for the great work! :)

    KittenAuth is very, very cool. :D
  • DinoboffDinoboff
    Just updated it. It support audio captcha (require Flite) allowing visualy impaired to register.

    You can't use it with Application Email Verification 0.4.0 if you don't have audio Captcha enable.

    The Captcha options should be added to registration setting page in the next version.

    Can the captcha addon have others like math problems to solve What is 2 + 5 = ? etc

    That'd be an awesome way to make sure your user group had a minimum level of intelligence. Take them through a small IQ test and disguise it as a captcha!
  • DinoboffDinoboff
    if you can hide the numbers from bots, yep.

    For KittenAuth, I don't think there is enought room on the registration page.

    @Dinoboff: an audio captcha is useful, specially if your ISP has the required libraries. For those who don't, it would still be useful - as described in a previous posting - to be able to display an obfuscated link to the admin's email address, in case a person with visual impairments is trying to register, or some other problem is being experienced.
  • DinoboffDinoboff
    If you don't have flite install there is an other way for visually impaired to register (not yet compatible with Application email verification).

    Minesweeper, i think that basic level of IQ is a prerequisite if they are planning to come online and read forums. :) if they can't do simple math, then i doubt they can figure out how a forum even works. plus it can be something like this. without numbers How many letters in the word "vanilla" = ? it will be really hard for bots to figure out the question. A set of like 20 prewritten questions with random numbers or words is very effective. acvourse this assume english language proficiency, but thats a prerequisite for a english forum anyway.

    Dont get me wrong, i was being deadly serious. I'd be really interested to see what came of a community with a forced basic IQ test...
  • WallPhoneWallPhone
    Quite a bit more than a basic test, but the International High IQ Society is such a community.

    I missed the mark by one point. No joke.

    I know I could make it in if I retried, but its too expensive... on second thought, $79 is very cheap to put a fancy bit of bragging rights on a resume...
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    I got accepted either there or somewhere very similar but also got put off by the entry fee..
  • bjrnbjrn
    I'd feel a bit silly putting something like International High IQ Society or Mensa on my CV. I mean, it doesn't really say all that much about you, does it? Except that you managed to pass an IQ test, and don't mind paying an entry + annual fee.

    I disagree that Mensa is a scam. The entry fees are low enough for anyone to afford, and the annual membership fees a mere $55, which mostly covers the postage on their monthly magazine/newsletters. edit: removed nonsensical blabber not relevant to the topic
  • gigingergiginger New
    You only need 124 for the High IQ Society? I feel so damn brainy now :D
  • TomTesterTomTester New
    OK, so that thing *is* a crock. I should have clicked on the link... See! It doesn't help at all in real life ;-) (FWIW, Mensa is top 2% of the test world-wide (or in your country))

    After upgrading to Vanilla 1.1, I was notified that a new version of the CAPTCHA extension was available. I downloaded it, as prompted, and installed it, only to be greeted by this error message when I try to access my settings.php page: "A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred Technical information (for support personel): Error Message Could not Add the CaptchaDisableDescription field to the User table Affected Elements CAPTCHA Upgrader.undefined(); The error occurred on or near: Duplicate column name 'CaptchaDisableDescription' For additional support documentation, visit the Lussumo Documentation website at: lussumo.com/docs" Whatever this is, it needs to be corrected ASAP!
  • DinoboffDinoboff
    What is the value of $Configuration['CAPTCHA_VERSION'] in /conf/settings.php ? I don't understand why you have this error message since, I think, you had CAPTCHA 2.x.

    Check that you have the CaptchaDisableDescription field in the user table, and that $Configuration[' CAPTCHA_FLITE_PATH'] and $Configuration['CAPTCHA_AUDIO_PATH'] are in /conf/settings.php. If the all are here, just set $Configuration['CAPTCHA_VERSION'] = '2.0'
  • icoutoicouto
    @Dinoboff: the version of CAPTCHA that I've just reinstalled, and seem to be running with no problems, is 0.1.3. Am I supposed to do something special to upgrade from 0.1.x to 0.2.x?
