Question

CFIMAGE distorting CAPTCHA images.

I am using CFIMAGE's ability to create CAPTCHA images to stop bot from hammering my forms. However, I am finding that the CAPTCHA images often times show distorted characters even on the LOW difficulty setting. I tried the DIV solutions changing the background color to all white behind the CAPTCHA but that didn't solve the problem.

Any own know how to fix this? I attached a sample. Notice the first character. It's supposed to be a Y. The problem here is that users aren't able to tell if the character is a real letter or just an element of the image.

Thanks for the help...

Also, I love the WYSIWYG editor adobe put in this forum. Anyone know if it's home grown or a third party add on and who developed it?

    Hi Fusecast,

    The footer of this page says "Adobe Forums powered by Jive Software's Clearspace ® 2.5.7".

    Nonetheless, if you are looking for CF Specific rich text editor, then refer the "cftextarea" tag.
