1 per 20 attacks?
That's pretty good, isn't it?
I would understand if it was 1 per 5 attacks, 1 per 10 attacks would stretch it.


If you could get more attacks than that, the captcha would be less effective.

Nothing wrong with the idea or the frequency of the captcha with me -- it's just that on some browsers you have to click again and again (between 2 and 4 times), if you clicked the wrong word the first time.

He, Forger, I also noticed that. However, I've had it where I click wrong first time and 2nd time goes thorugh, or where I click wrong first time and no matter what I click after that it never goes through, so I haven't said anything about it since I haven't been able to find a cause for these differences.

And plus, if you just click it right the first time you don't have the problem, so maybe no fix is needed (smiley)

I've been told this before, but I can't seem to replicate the bug.

It seems to occur on non-standard browsers: such as my Konqueror or even an older version of Opera (didn't test with Opera lately).

Why I don't agree with Luf when he says that it's easy to click it right the first time is this: on this Konqueror of mine, for a reason that eludes me, it seems a 'cached' or a 'default' version of the captcha loads, I'm tricked into it and click the 'right' word, then, in that very second, it updates to what it should have displayed in the first place -- rendering my previous click useless and *wrong*. In this case, 2nd and 3rd attempts are needed.

I only have small problems with it, when I accidentally click wrong word, then next, I click right one, but still says wrong one, total 3-5 tries are needed. (including accident)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
