    Getting this error when I install it:
    Error Message
    Could not Add the CaptchaDisableDescription field to the User table
    Affected Elements
    CAPTCHA Installer.undefined();
    The error occurred on or near: Duplicate column name 'CaptchaDisableDescription'

    Any insight would be appreciated.

    For some reason, it try to reinstall some column in the DB, but they are already there. You just need to drop them (with phpmyadmin) and try again.

    Does "dropping" simply empty these tables or does it remove them altogether?

    Well it took a couple of try's, but the extension is enabled and the DB entry is their-- but I'm not seeing the captcha when I attempt to test it.

    Wanderer, 'dropping' drops tables, truncate empties.

    Same question, I know 'dropping' 'drops' the table, does 'dropping' delete the table?
    So I guess I'm asking what is the definition of 'drop'?

    Yes, dropping deletes. As in completely remove. Truncate is essentially the same as "DELETE * FROM table WHERE id > 0".

    eh...sorry...
    I'm dealing with the same problem but I can't find any column which is named like the mentioned above... so I can't delete anything but the problem is still the same...

    perhaps someone could give me a hint.

    It is in the user table. The column to delete is "CaptchaDisableDescription".

    sorry for that, but there is no column "CaptchaDisableDescription"...
    :/

    Just add in /path/to/vanilla/conf/settings.php:$Configuration['CAPTCHA_VERSION'] = '0.2.0';

    there should be a feature that allows the applicant to refresh the captcha if it's too obfuscated to read.

    yeah that would be a really good idea
  • fysicsluvrfysicsluvr

    because if they get to that part of the application form and realize they can't read it, they would have to refresh the page and re-enter what they had in the previous fields.

    EDIT:

    you could also limit it to 3 refreshes or so.

    Nothing worse than a CAPTCHA picture that's difficult to read, lots of O and 0 characters as well as I and l which make the visitor work too hard just to post a comment, not to mention ugly and annoying artefacts covering parts of the text.
    I made my own JavaScript version which works so ridiculously simple plus I control what the images look like.

    for Vanilla?? upload it man!

    I looked at your profile to be sure you aren't a woman ;-)

    It's very basic but it's easy to pretty it up using CSS.

    Hey, I had this working, and then it stopped working as soon as I disabled anonymous users from browsing the forum. It just says "Visual CAPTCHA." Every now and then, the CAPTCHA flickers, then goes back to "Visual CAPTCHA." It was working fine until I changed the setting. Any ideas?

    Mate, turn the extension off!

    If unregistered users are not allowed, there's no need for this extension.
  • fysicsluvrfysicsluvr

    It's the captcha for registering users. I could care less if a spambot wants to browse the forum, but allowing a spambot membership isn't even comparable.

    yeah I get that problem as well. Basically it checks to see if the user is logged in and since it's not the captcha location is:

    Sorry to have not give more support in the past for this extension; However, Squirrel just added support for reCAPTCHA to vanilla. Check-out his add-on, it should be far more reliable.
