TOPIC | Captcha: Less busy backgrounds
1 2 3 4
I understand the need for the captcha, and I'm okay with that. But, there must be some way to make these a little bit easier for a HUMAN to see! Some of these backgrounds are so insanely busy with so many different colors, I can barely find the superimposed pictures at all - let alone the dragon. Couldn't you eliminate the backgrounds that have so many patterns and high-contrast colors? There are also sometimes where the dragon and the background and nearly the same color. I'm sure FR had some input into this since these are all FR imagery. Maybe there could be some parameters to help the other images pop out better? A few lighter images on a background with darker colors or vice versa? Examples: Some of these are just impossible.

I'm sure they would still stop a bot. [img]https://i.imgur.com/OmTfUko.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NeydgOu.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ak32t7t.png[/img]

100% agreed, this would be amazing! I hate having trouble finding the dragon because it blends into the background.

It would make the captchas a lot less annoying.

I don't know how the images are setup, but having each set to light vs. dark, and the captcha chooses and background and dragon from opposite categories would help.

Simpler backgrounds would still throw off bots while also being far more accessible to users. When almost everyone is having issues finding the dragon in some of these images, including people with great vision... I think something needs to be changed.

Absolute support. Some of the captchas are absolute pains in the butt to decipher.

Overall, the camping feature isn't a bad idea - it stops botters, but to those who are visually impaired, correctly pinpointing where the dragon is must be a nightmare!

Simplistic captchas, like the Mock-ups created for this thread, would theoretically do the job just as well, if not better than the current.

Full support. These things can be impossible to see sometimes. Captchas are annoying enough as they are, but I understand the need for them. Don't keep them at the almost unusable level some appear at now >.<

When the captcha comes during coli, I have to guess for the dragon. If the backgrounds were simpler, the dragon could be easier to see.

Please. I don't mind camping, but it's so hard to see the dragon sometimes.
