Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66393&edit=1 ID: 66393 Updated by: danielc@php.net Reported by: chealer at gmail dot com Summary: "Incorrect CAPTCHA" trying to file a bug report Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: danielc Block user comment: Y Private report: N New Comment: The changes made in early January have finally been deployed to the bugs web server. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-05 01:52:44] danielc@php.net I just made three commits to improve the user experience. One set tells users that cookies are required if the SESSION information is unavailable. The other part emphasizes that the CAPTCHA needs to be answered again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-05 01:11:30] chealer at gmail dot com My pleasure danielc, but could you explain how this wouldn't constitute a bug? Indeed, the message appears to be thrown whenever the tracker fails to verify the CAPTCHA, either due to missing cookies, session information, or other reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-03 23:24:46] anon at anon dot anon Note that the CAPTCHA here requires cookies. If you browse with cookies disabled all it says is "Incorrect Captcha". I realize that those of us who have cookies disabled are rare, but that warning could use some improvement. The first time I tried it I think it took me a while to guess I needed to add a cookies exception for php.net. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-03 03:41:36] danielc@php.net Yes. The second submit requires the user to answer a new CAPTCHA. Annoying, but not that big a deal. Thanks for your report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-02 20:38:28] chealer at gmail dot com when I opened this very ticket, the confirmation step pointed me to #33449. I then tested a different workaround, which worked. In the confirmation step, the CAPTCHA is blank, as if the answer had been lost. I re-entered the answer to the CAPTCHA and managed to file this ticket without getting any error. This may simply be a specific symptom of bug #33449. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
