Security code issue

Postby mattjgilbert » Mon May 05, 2008 6:56 pm

Just tried to log in using the wife's laptop. Not knowing who I was I was asked to sign in and type in the security code on screen (site default front page). The number I had to key in was 8 digits but the test box for entering it only allowed my to type 6!

Doh... I think it only ever used to be 6 digits in the random number?

Once it failed it took me to the retry screen which DOES accept 8 digits...

I'll have to track down where the 6 digit limit in the form is - I up'd it to 8 today, we're getting about 15 - 20 bot signups a day (so far they haven't gotten as far as confirming via email so it hasn't been a huge problem), so I modified the security code to be longer to try to reduce the number of bot attempts as the code generation for nuke is easy to predict.

UPDATE: Found it in the Login block on the home page, I've updated and tested it and it's working now.
