It took 6 attempts to log in today
« on: March 10, 2011, 04:56:42 PM »
Usually it takes me 2 attempts, not sure why, but those letters you have to type in are as blurry as a mother fk'er. I hope this new sing in doesn't deter new members from not joining.

Oh, and yesterday the site was down for about an hour. It said the site was either too busy or I forgot the other stuff it said

Yeah, I have a problem with those CAPTCHA words also. I haven't seen the one on this site (Firefox has kept me logged in so far) but some have a 'give me a different one option' that I have to use when I can't make out the words.

I actually couldn't get to the website today.  Kept saying the server was busy.  Must of been one heck of a spam day!

I think the server went down about 1:00 am central time. Seems to be working OK now.

Whenever I get blurry Captcha letters I hit the button to request a new image until I get one I can read...No problem, even for my old myopic eyes!

Sorry, guys. I had a database problem. It was fixed eventually but it took a couple hours. Should be all good from now on!

The captcha, should I make them easier to read? There are different settings, I think I have it on HIGH to stop these spammers.

I've never seen the captcha, I click on the icon in my tool bar and I'm here.

I have it saved to my fav's, so I never really notice.  I'm also a member of the Heritage Owners Club and they have the same problem.
