Resolved Issues / Registration Issue - Captcha Not Appearing, Cause Unknown
2014 Jan 22, 22:16:21
So, I've only recently registered here on the site/forums. A friend told me about the upcoming server 'uptime' this weekend and thought I'd like a chance to give it a try. Everything seemed in order, up through filling out information. I had a valid username, password, all of that. I answered "yes" I am human (or "no" I am not bot on later attempts), and answered "Spike" as Twilight's dragon assistant and "White" as Rarity's coat color.
The problem was, on my screen, that was all that showed up. Every time I then hit the button to continue, it came up with the odd-looking message of "The letters do not match what is in the picture" or some such. As it turns out, there was supposed to be a captcha, but it didn't load for the first ten-fifteen or so attempts at registration. I don't know if it was my browser (Firefox) or an issue with the site at the time, but it completely prevented completing registration.
Long story short, the captcha might not always load in some browsers, and there's no indication that there needs to be one. The error message that comes up isn't quite clear. But mostly that first thing. I believe someone ought to look into that ~
