/a little rant top of it, please do not take it personally but this mistake is global/
What kind of BAD behavor is that by mod, that they close the topics as nothing and point at best to the another closed topic by taking time telling "there is another post about it, take time to search" (
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=552467.0 why not point to HERE?
Is this somekind of bad joke? Final closing post Have to have link to correct forum, this is so elementary why it needs to be told even? And on this same closed topic was already mentioned, that this issue did not come out in search, bdw)
posting, linking a link to a post where correct topic is, is what normal people would do who want to help.
Point, philosophy of SMF is Whole, making things most easy not forcing people to search and look around in sircles in hope they not find. This is not some linux mindset that some try to keep "we try to make things harded then maybe people learn". No they just choose another thing that works. I not, as i love SMF forum or linux 10+ year ago, but most others would in instant.
When board name is about "verification" and people are searching "Captcha" then these posts nessesarily do not come up in search, as other people who made same mistake noticed. I searched, i also did not see. Now after mentioning many times, they do perhaps as i added these words to subject.
And how long is this
known issue been, 5 years, 7 ??
No these chaptas DO NOT need to be translated, English for starters is ENOUGHT, at least something functional. There is thousands of languages, you can not hold development back in English based software with excuses we not have translations, People have something that works in english radher then something that stops their usage of software completly, and after all, current Captcha ONLY stops humans as it seems, it is made against humans in current situation, not against rbots.
Main point:Here is one great japanese guy
http://www.animeneko.net/projects/smf/recaptcha-for-smf/ [nofollow] google reCAPTCHA work (out of many in modding section), just write to him, and base your work on it. It just needs little bit fixes at best. If there is something withot google eyes, maybe even better, maye.
Just replace for god sake this thing for starters in here with ANYTHING, this what for the mods was made and Your modding system that makes easy to change parts of forum functions, this is one
CORE feature, please use it!
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=213535.780Just insane, that complete noobs have to tell professionals these kind of things, over and over again.
Try yourself few times solve these Captcha, then you know the frustruration. And huge amount of people it has been keep away from SMF.
oh, and now 10, 15 times solving this Captcha, if i am lucky (as audio does not play on my pc)/edit, oh sorry it is You Motoko-chan, to irritated to notice!
