Captcha borked April 15, 2006 9:57 AM Subscribe
Captcha/Login/'badlogin.cfm' errors...
1.) If you log in correctly and the captcha is not correct, you will still be logged in when you go to the index page.
2) When you enter an incorrect captcha, you're directed to a page that simply says 'Captcha not correct!' ... not the badlogin.cfm page.
3) If you input your password incorrectly and are directed to the badlogin.cfm page, and then you input everything correctly and hit log in, it will direct you to a page that says "Contact matt if this error keeps happening" ... every time. ;)
Took me like 2-3 minutes to log in today. :-P

Yeah, I need to ditch the stupid captcha and just track up to 5 failed logins in 24 hours. It's the next thing on my to-do list.

Yay! Does it really need to be 5 logins per 24 hours though? Can't you do five per minute or something? Brute forcing passwords requires thousands of millions of requests.

I thought the captcha thing was to prevent me from making a script that could log in and post spammy messages for me. And believe me, if you don't stop me, I WILL.
I actually never saw the capcha thing until today, though, since I've never logged out.

Logout. You'll see a captcha when you try to log back in.
