Forum search - image verification
The search function seems to be requiring an image verification. Is this necessary? It's hard to read the image even refreshing it and takes time. Respectfully submitted

Ha! I was surprised I hadn't seen a thread about this before. For me that image verification is the most difficult part of the Silent Hunter experience, it's like identifying ships 4km away at 2am in a storm....

I'm surprised too, since this is the third thread I've seen on the subject.

Well I did try to do a search for one before but couldn't get the image verification to work.

My post must have been bot-generated then, 'cause otherwise I would normally have looked first and seen the other threads

Yup, have to agree, the picture is the messiest I have ever seen when it comes to these verification things.

I tend to agree but if it prevents incursions like we've witnessed in recent times...so be it.

Agreed, it is the only time in my life that I have managed to crook my neck and spill coffee over my forehead at the same time. Still, all adds to the charm!

If we ever meet you simply must show me how to do that. My talents are limited.

It's one of the older styles of captcha. I couldn't read them to begin with when people started using them. But some of the newer ones are a bit easier to read, or even hear for that matter.

OK, the forum search was screwed enough before this image verification rubbish was implemented, not it's just ridiculous.
It's got to the point where I will put it on record that I will never again, while this useless verification is in place, berate anyone for not searching the forums first! Ironically, this useless check will do no more than increase the number of new threads asking repeat questions much more than the few spam threads that it aims to reduce. /rant |
