New User CAPTCHA

[Paul Taylor]

Hi,
Is your new registration broken at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/new ?

I have tried probably 12 different captcha & I keep getting errors that
captcha is incorrect. To make sure I'm not losing my facilities I asked my
5 & 7 year old, my super smart wife, to try it out and none of us can get
them correct.

I'm trying to register email [e-mail] with user ID ridezaga.
Please see attached screenshots.

Thanks,
Paul

Fwd: New User CAPTCHA

Did something change with the Captcha software this weekend? We got
several complaints of people unable to register or complete a page
because it was either unreadable or what they say and typed was not
used.

Well, the infrastructure team runs TurboGears, which provides the captcha :)

I just tried signing up for an account (jds2001testcaptcha) and was
successful in getting past the captcha. I think that the first letter
in the one that was attached was an O, not a C as input by the user
(though I could see the C interpretation as well).
