I'm now thoroughly confused. You wanted to deal with the left spacing on the number, and suggested using trim(), I just suggested a variation on that which didn't use %e, nothing more.

For cases where there's an extra space in the middle of the string, you're still stuffed either way, whether you use ltrim() or trim(), aren't you?

And you didn't want to say this earlier because...?

Don't make it a post count *permission* but make it based on post count separately. Karl wrote a mod for sm.org which was later turned into a public mod that works on this basis (Anti Spam Links) So it's certainly feasible to approach and doing it in core would be neat.I see what you mean. The way I see it, if the tabs are going to be used, it should be cleaned up and set up much as the others are set up, for consistency and it will make it extensible through plugins should folks want to.

But that's not to say the tabs have to be used. Whatever makes the most sense UI-wise; considering that the post layout for example has contextual UI.No, but if it's set up much as the others are, adding it in then becomes a matter of just adding a hook which receives the menu structure, but if it's a lot more complex, setting it up requires more thought and work.

You're right that the tab code is a mess generally, and it would be nice to properly harmonise things, since the profile and admin menus are set up differently (as there's pre-processing to handle permissions, as opposed to passing them to the menu handler)I don't imagine it would really be used that way, as such I have no qualms about restricting = from being used in the SB as a keyboard shortcut.

They're a complex beast. I wouldn't say I've mastered them, but I do know how to wield them for general cases (Nao's the regexpert around here), so I'm not fearful of using them, though I can readily see how others might be.

Except that KeyCaptcha, like several of the other CAPTCHA solutions is also going to limit those with visual or motor impairments, or various browsers such as certain mobile browsers.

As opposed to writing a question for your forum which has no such limitations.

weQ&A is even better though, heh ;)

Regular readers here will know that I dislike reCaptcha, a lot.[1]

Putting aside the fact that it is worryingly flawed,[2] we have an interesting new vector for it.

I give you: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/04/04/google_recaptcha_street_view/

Specifically, it's using street numbers, and possibly street names, off Street View as things it's expecting you to decipher, to improve their database. Very effective crowdsourcing, potentially, but also it makes a mockery of any anti-spam considerations it may once have had.

And that I only wrote a reCaptcha plugin to prove the viability of the CAPTCHA hooks, and to avoid people whining about not having it, not because *I* wanted it.

2.

It shows you two words, one of which it actually doesn't know itself, and has been known to display numbers, and even mathematical equations and Hebrew writing, as the second 'word', in an attempt to crowdsource their meaning, which doesn't work as well as you might think, because people including bots just put nonsense in. In any case, even the word it does know, it accepts one letter being wrong, making it even less reliable than an actual regular CAPTCHA that displays a word. Small wonder it's been broken by bots.

It does actually disturb me that people can actually get better support, faster, here than on the official SMF forum, too.
