You should have noticed the new images displaying the Security Code to be informed during log in procedure.
Please, tell us about your experience with it. We appreciate your opinion.

Also only done it once so far - I had to squint a bit to see what the letters were, but it wasn't too bad. I've certainly seen worse ones elsewhere on the 'net.

It's no problem for me either. I was a bit curious at first, but I've been used to new improvements by Pesadelo.

Sometimes you have to take a closer look to decide what you actually see as a security code but I think it's good. No big problems in my opinion.
So I agree: great job Pesa! Thanks.

Had to refresh twice this far to get the code right,
but it's ok.

sometimes takes me a few tries.
Can you make it so the captcha only appears if you fail to log in after 1 try? That way its not a annoyance to sst members, and it still protects against brute force bots. |

I've had no problems and I don't find the new captcha annoying at all.
I think it's important to try to keep the spammer bots out, so thank you Pesa! |

I have had issues with it... mostly because it's case sensitive, and when you warp a "w" I can't tell if it's a "W" or "w" ... and when I click to renew... all that changes is the colors. Which doesn't make it any easier. I've had to get past it 4 times... only 1 of which I got right on the first shot.
