What do you guys think of the new CAPTCHA in RC1?
I think some people may have trouble trying to read it...but I like the options in the ACP for it.

I actually really liked the old one, it was so clean! But i guess it was too clean, so it was easier for bots to read. The ACP options are nice though, i agree

Hopefully we can look forward to a different one within the next couple of releases.

Yeah indeed the new CAPTCHA is a lil bit tough to read..... Also even if you alter those ACP settings for the CAPTCHA sometimes it is easy to read and sometimes it aint..... When the x value is set very low it becomes almost impossible to read.....
Something between 15 and 20 is quite ok to read
And yes we will be soon seeing many SPAM BOT fighting mods on the loose

Any RC1 users had anyone complain that the captcha is hard to read yet?
I got an email from one guy who had troubles..
I wonder if a new captcha will come out soon.

It's horrible.. I hate it.
Even when you set x to a higher number..

I have to say, I'm not too fond of the RC1 captcha myself. It's okay, but I had problems reading it sometimes. I think I will probably replace it with a mod. Most likely, I'll convert the Photo Captcha phpBB 2 mod. I rather like that one.

Hmm from a lot of trial runs I did with the Captch I noticed that the readability some times is pretty good and some times it aint when x value is set in the range of 15 to 25 but it was not consistent i must say....
The choice of colours varies significantly each time and hence I bet the main reason for inconsistency....
