Request another Image for Visual verification doesn't seem to work.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

I don't know if it's a bug, but while trying to register an account, when you try to request another image for visual verification, nothing happens. I know one can just refresh the page but that means the details the user just filled in just get removed.

Someone please try to reproduce this issue if they can just to be sure it is not just my device.



Can this be corrected?

This can happen sometimes, just refresh the browser.

If it is not still working, probably your browser maybe out of date. If your browser requires update, update it and try again.

Or just use another browser. It can be a browser issue.

You can copy and paste everything. Supper easy.

I've tried it with Edge and Chrome, and the error persists in both.

The captcha image doesn't refresh when I click it.

Checking the browser console when I click shows that the randomness is generated, but as I can see, this has no effect because it's loading the same ID in the same document.

Some lines of code contain width="0" and height="0", which means the image in question isn't visible.

To put it more clearly, the logic of  id="verification_image" is duplicated, which hinders the generation of new images, since in HTML, the ID attribute must be unique within the same document. There can never be two or more elements with the same id.

Code:

<td>
                            <img src="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=verificationcode;mycode=2;rand=41ff8f62444f30bd9bfe4e70084ed9c8" alt="" id="verificiation_image" width="0" height="0">
                            <img src="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=verificationcode;mycode=3;rand=41ff8f62444f30bd9bfe4e70084ed9c8" alt="Type the letters shown in the picture" id="verificiation_image" width="0" height="0">

                            <img src="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=verificationcode;mycode=5;rand=41ff8f62444f30bd9bfe4e70084ed9c8" alt="" id="verificiation_image" width="0" height="0"><br>
							<input type="text" name="visual_verification_code" size="30" tabindex="5">
							<div class="smalltext">
								<a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=verificationcode;mycode=4;rand=41ff8f62444f30bd9bfe4e70084ed9c8;sound" onclick="return reqWin(this.href, 400, 120);">Listen to the letters</a> | <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=register" onclick="refreshImages(); return false;">Request another image</a>

I highly doubt the issue is on OP's end.
I just tried that on two different desktop browsers and also on my mobile. The "Request another image" button did nothing.

Did you try that? Did the button work for you?

Maybe I do not understand what he meant. Is it not the hChaptcha?






I registered this account just right now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3757982

No, the hCaptcha is working as expected without any issues and that's not what OP is talking about.
OP is referring to "Request another image" button. Click that button and you will see that nothing happens.

It is truly not working.

From what I saw here, inspecting the page, there are three images with the captcha with the same ID: "verification_image"
So, the script is updating the "src" of the first image, but the image that is actually being displayed is the third one.

The solution is simple!
If you inspect the page and delete the other images, you will see that the script works perfectly.

And here is my video test:

I doubt that refreshing the browser will be helpful because it will possibly create an evil IP point from that IP address with a failed account registration session before. Then after refreshing the browser and register your account, that newly registered account might have an evil IP problem and will have to pay minor fee before posting.

Below posts are about evil IPs from banned / proxy IPs in the past but I guess the refreshing step here can affect the evil points too.

When someone is banned, their IP and some of their neighboring IPs receive evil points.

New users can now immediately start posting unless they are using suspicious IPs. Suspicious IPs are ones that have been banned previously, or are known proxies, or are near many banned/proxy IPs. If you register using a suspicious IP, you can use most forum features (watchlist, etc.), but you can't post or send PMs until you pay a small fee. In almost all cases, the fee is less than $1.

Evil IP? What does reloading the page have to do with your IP being considered evil?
Your IP's evil score increases if someone with the same IP or nearby IP ranged is banned. Your IP's evil score doesn't increase just because you reloaded the page when registering an account.
