This captcha is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody can read this, it will make it so that this community does not grow.

*new members try to register
*FUUUuu after 20 failed captcha tries

Seriously, use recaptcha, it's free and good.

Turn off your caps lock and you'll be good to go.

Read thread. Only when you (or a bot) misspell your password.

^^ This (and the fact that it annoyed the crap out of me), is one of the main reasons I posted the tread in the first place.

...Then the first post could have looked like this:
And things would've actually gotten done, instead of this mess here.
The truth of this post will be corroborated or invalidated, depending on whether or not something actually *does* get done, now that a simple how-to-fix guide has been provided.

An interesting thought, but recaptcha sometimes gives impossible images.

Edit: Well I guess only the word it doesn't check is impossible. Still, annoying. And recaptcha isn't what I'd call 'easy'.

Okay, I've gone through the Captcha the last 4 times I logged in. No problems.

I think you complainers just suck. Or are bots. L2Captcha.

You just got lucky... wait till you get letters 1 and 7, or 0 and O... then come back and tell how you sucked :regret:

I managed to enter it correctly again which puts me at 100% success rate with 2 tries. There was even a 1 this time.

Some douche apparently tried to log in as me, causing me to get the captcha when I tried to log in just now. Well played. Got it the first try though.

none of the captchas say shit... some are case sensitive as well... and they dont even tell that.
