Pickles245 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Oh boy... the security/captcha is horrible. First it askes for question you have to google to get the answer for. Then when you put the right answer in, it says you got the answer wrong. Had to try like 25 times for it to accept my answer as correct just to create an account. orange2217 and phatbassanchor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3xp0p Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Same, I have no idea what carbonated drink is supposed to contain prune juice. What the heck kind of questions is that? Fortunately, I got a Skyrim question the next time so could answer. phatbassanchor and orange2217 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatbassanchor Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Welcome aboard, new friends You have successfully passed the audition. Hahaha Kidding... I've been here for a while now and had nearly forgotten what a royal PITA it was to get logged in that very first time! Ugh! I actually knew the answers to the questions I was asked... by my third attempt... yet, I still confirmed my answers on google just to make sure as I did not want to repeat the process again for a fourth time. I get it. Good news is that you only have to do it once. The questions are banal and CAPTCHA is ridiculous. The images are so fuzzy and pixelated that it's hard to tell a bus from a train or a boat from a plane! "Click on the images of a bicycle" it said once... WTF? Is that a bicycle or a motorcycle? I cannot honestly tell them apart from this awful image! So yes, we have all been there, done that and fortunately not doing it again... unlike Nexus who shoots me into a CAPTCHA screen just to edit a single word of one of my PM comments. You won't see any more of that now. So, welcome to the forums! There are lots of cool folks, cool mods, interesting conversations and helpful topics too. Enjoy and adventure ever on new friends, Phat PS: A couple of my characters dropped by to say, "cheers!" lmstearn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmstearn Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 What I don't understand is why the Captcha folk don't think a hostile robot couldn't extract the text of the question and Google its own answer! phatbassanchor and The Siren 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthmoor Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Well so far it seems to work pretty well. Compared to other sites we get a very small number of actual bots and every question in the arsenal can be easily Googled. phatbassanchor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmstearn Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Do you use Chrome? This is the link to passwords to paste in the url box: chrome://settings/passwords Type in afkmods in the Search Passwords box on the top right to find the record where it can be changed. Here's mine: Similar kind of process with other browsers. Also check the international settings for input keyboard is consistent with that of the phone, or at least US, else there may be weird stuff going on with "@" symbols and the like in the password.
