Thumbs down Image verification feature

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I realy need to say this.

Please get rid of the feature, for ppl who are color blind this is a nightmare.
At least get something else or disable the feature (not sure if you realy get spammed or the feature was added in the Forum script by default).

Re: Image verification feature

I've seen variations of these that allow the letters/numbers to be heard over some background noise if requested. Perhaps this would be more useful for colour blind users?

Re: Image verification feature

If anyone has a problem completing the image verification, you can contact me or any other administrator and we'll take care of you

I've adjusted the settings to use a little less color, and I'll keep an eye on it to see if that lets in the bots. Image verification is pretty standard nowadays because without it, running standard software like vBulletin, we would be overrun with spam bots written to pound vB with their links and junk. I know that lots of web users can't complete them though, either colorblind or fully blind users, so making ourselves available is a good middle ground .

Re: Image verification feature

Doesn't this apply only to guests? If you are a member and logged in this should not even be an issue...
