Carlos_spicy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 They're back again? Well they are for me anyway. Anyone else getting them when accessing user lookups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsparky Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Yes, me too. I guess they are back for good. I wonder if accounts are being targets again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nielo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'd been wondering if they'd be back, considering there have been quite a few threads here on TDN in the past few days from people who've had their accounts hacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flpatsfan Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well, it was fun while it was gone, but, for security purposes, i understand. It would have been nice if the Neo team would have posted something. mcsneezy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbell Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 The captchas are such a pain though :/ hackers ruin everything. At least it makes me feel like my account is a bit safer mcsneezy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobert_Doo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Well, it was fun while it was gone, but, for security purposes, i understand. It would have been nice if the Neo team would have posted something. And here it is. This was posted in today's (8/26/2016) Neopian Times, Issue #746, Editorial, last question, http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&issue=746: "Hello, my TNT homeys, care to tell us all why REcaptchas are back? Getting rid of them was the best thing you all have done in the past three years, and now they're back, but why? ~ skeebsy Because unfortunately, some users started to take advantage of them being gone and got back up to their old tricks of using bot programs, which becomes and issue for user safety and site performance." flpatsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Personally as annoying as it is, they should just leave them up. I doubt they'll be able to stop all the bot programs from stealing accounts and such as they programmers can just keep tweaking. The ReCaptchas provide a bit of extra security for us. flpatsfan, Scoobert_Doo and Nielo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flpatsfan Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks Scoobert! I saw it this morning when I read the editorials. I guess I'm a little disappointed that it took a question in the NeoTimes to get an answer. I'm happy they answered, but, isn't this what the neoboards are for? In any event, they are back and it is what it is. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige14 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 These are the bane of my existence -_- but I'm happy if it keeps things safe I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eCosS Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 ReCaptcha should be on every page (shops, kadoatery, games, forum, auction, battledome, training schools/academy, quest ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannerj Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 ReCaptcha should be on every page (shops, kadoatery, games, forum, auction, battledome, training schools/academy, quest ...) Yes. And you should have to do a ReCaptcha to refresh the Shop Wizard, and to visit the Healing Springs, and oooh, how about a ReCaptcha for every single stock you buy -- want to hit your 1k daily limit? THAT'S 1,000 "which squares feature a sign?" FOR YOU!!!! :rolleyes_anim: :rolleyes_anim: :rolleyes_anim: :rolleyes_anim: :rolleyes_anim: :rolleyes_anim: :rolleyes_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
