Captcha in forum registration
Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 7:49 pm
Hi guys,
You really need to change your CAPTCHA in the forum registration. It is almost impossible to read. I failed in 5 attempts. I'm not sure you need a Captcha anyway - confirmation should be enough (and am running a forum myself, so I speak from some experience)
Also, I was trying to create a new account because I could not remember my user name - surely the email address is enough for password retrieval ? Making user name mandatory is a little over the top. It's not a bank, after all.
You may be losing a lot of users & goodwill through these usability issues - and they're easy enough to fix.
Best wishes
