CPC-Power download lock?

[Devilmarkus]

Hey wait... I thought it's only me doing such crap... 

Not *only*

[robcfg]

This is a clear example of a programmer doing something that only he feels comfortable with 

Don't be that pissed off. Think also that easier captchas are easily cracked, and we don't want CPC Power to go down in flames, right?

Why don't just use recaptcha?

Captchas cracked, really?


There is no difference to me honestly. If the site burns of if I just can't access it makes absolutely no difference.

Just an idea: maybe we should include it in the new releases? 2014/Puzzle category?


Captcha has been cracked to some degree, yes, but it doesn't matter. I don't think a host of Chinese industrial-size spammers will attempt to rip the site apart by suddenly downloading all the games (if they do, hats of to them - I'd like to meet them)! This forum is a more likely target, and god knows we've had problems in the past, but as you can see it's been dealt with with far more lenient measures.

I was just coming here to post 'what the hell's up with the new Captcha system on CPC-POWER? I'm sodding locked out now!' when I found this thread.

I see you have to re-order the letters ... doh.

I wouldn't say it's a stupid system but POORLY EXPLAINED.

Also as McKlain said - what's wrong with reCaptcha?

Oh, and now........... how do I get my IP address unblocked at CPC-POWER??

From what I can gather, it resets after 12 hours. You just need to wait...

Thanks!

I was pretty annoyed earlier because it means I've wasted a few hours when I could have been doing work on a game and video.
I ended up downloading DSKs on my phone, but when I transfer them to the PC after faffing about the files were 'unrecognised'. Doh.

Not in the best of moods ha!

Just get them from here?

Just get them from here?

Where? I can't find games for download on the cpcwiki site?

I'll go check again....

[Gryzor]

Erm... Downloads link, third item in the horizontal menu at the top of the forum

[Xyphoe]

Oh, I was looking on the main CPC Wiki, not in the forum!

Annnnd... anyway I found this just before you replied!
All games now downloadable from the Wiki!

Gah!

Thanks
