Another user tried to register to forum and failed because of the captcha requirement.
I also tried with a new account and also failed.
What is this animal called? captcha22.jpg
I answer: dolphin
=> Wrong
Is there some issue with that or what are we doing wrong?

Re: Failed to register to forum cause of captcha
Damn that's it! Thanks. Could it not also accept "dolphin"? It should prevent bots from register not humans.
Edit:
After animal captcha right answer:
"You have exceeded the maximum number of registration attempts for this session. Please try again later."
Maximum number of registration attempts should be 10 not 2.

Re: Failed to register to forum cause of captcha
Just a note for the future, people having trouble with registration typically email admin@foldingforum.org. I monitor that account and can resolve issues with the captcha questions.foldy wrote:Another user tried to register to forum and failed because of the captcha requirement.
I also tried with a new account and also failed.
When attempting to register, is there a suggestion to email the admin to resolve issues? I had supposed that to be so since I get fairly regular questions via that account.
My apologies for the issues. I usually have to switch captcha questions/answers due to a huge increase in spammer accounts. While I try to allow all likely responses, there is always the chance I'll overlook one in my haste.

Re: Failed to register to forum cause of captcha
There is a permanent link at the bottom right to "Contact the Administrators" but no specific suggestion to contact admins on register errors. So maybe a more explicit hint like "If you have any problems or questions please contact admins by email" could help people. Thank you for keeping the forum spam-free.
