#2135: CAPTCHA on docs.einsteintoolkit.org may stop working soon -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Roland Haas | Owner: (none) Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit | Version: development version website | Keywords: Resolution: | docs.einsteintoolkit.org -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by Roland Haas:

Old description:

Every once in a while, when I forgot to properly log into the wiki an want to save a page, I am confronted by a CAPTCHA to prove that I am human.

A subset of those CAPTCHAs actually look like that attached screenshot, ie they seem to indicate that the CAPTCHAs may stop working on 2018-03-31 which is rather soon.

I am not sure if this can be fixed by a relatively painless update of a plugin or if it will require complete update of the wiki server.

Comment (by Roland Haas):

Does this mean that everyone who would like to edit the wiki has to first get an account (either a CCT one which is impossible for casual users or a wiki one which I don't know how long it takes to create)?

The CAPTCHAs were useful because they allowed anyone to make a fix without the barrier of having to first create an account. So in that sense I would be unhappy to see the ability to edit the wiki quickly go away.

Comment (by Steven R. Brandt):

I've been talking to our IT folks about re-enabling this for some time. The old captchas stopped working, but we couldn't upgrade because of various version incompatibilities. They think they may be near a solution.

Comment (by Ian Hinder):

I think it's better to require new users to create an account, so that we can see who made each change. If the process of creating an account is relatively frictionless, I think that's fine. i.e. like the shopping sites that just ask you for an email address and password at the end of the checkout procedure, not the ones that force you to jump through several "account creation" pages.
