Post details: Captcha this!

Captcha this!

Quick FYI - we updated the captcha code, that craziness that makes you type in the letters you see in the box to prove you're not a spam bot. Only problem is security was a little too tight around here and some legitimate people were comment blocked. Gabe reported the issue first with an email saying "your captcha sucks! wtf?" and attached this picture:

I just laughed at him and his inability to distinguish a G from a 6, but after Bean complained I figured I'd look into it. So I picked a different font and made it letters only, and now I fully expect there to be a flood of comments.

Any minute now...

How about when you type in the letters correctly and the system still says "WRONG, try again loser!!!" So you decide to replace "E" with the number "3", and it works. The next minute is you mentally cursing how far technology still has yet to go.
