Topic on Extension talk:ConfirmEdit

Ello. Asirra seems borked in my installation. Even when solved correctly and the password is correct, it reports this to the user upon logging in:

Login error

Incorrect password entered. Please try again.

It should be noted that it says this above it:

To help protect against automated password cracking, please solve the simple sum below and enter the answer in the box (more info):

ReCAPTCHA technically works fine, but it seems to not be secure enough.

Tried it on 1.18.0, now running 1.19.0b2 and still nothing.

Asirra seems to be broken with IE8 and IE9.

Login error
 Incorrect or missing confirmation code. 

fails on multiple independent sites.

Agreed IE seems to not work with Asirra enabled

Failure also detected under Google Chrome. Not IE specific.

I am using the following version:

MediaWiki 1.19.1 ConfirmEdit Version 1.1 Firefox 13.0.1

reCaptcha is working fine. I can edit and save edits by solving reCaptcha. But, when switching to Asirra, the same additional line displays:

To help protect against automated password cracking, please solve the simple sum below and enter the answer in the box (more info):

Then, no matter if you select all the cats, it just doesn't allow you to pass. I think one more captcha is getting activated but with no input box.

Also, wgAsirraEnlargedPosition, wgAsirraCellsPerRow, etc. set in Localsettings.php is not getting respected/read.

Note, Asirra was working fine with 1.18. Upgrade broke it.

I have the same problem using 1.19, it has the sum question then the pictures of the cats, almost as though the normal confirmedit is active but being covered by the Asirra

Found the cause: client-side value Asirra_Ticket is supposed to contain the ticket for the CAPTCHA, but this is blank when it is passed to the server.

Did you have a fix? Should this extension be downgraded or noted that Asirra doesn't fully work?

I'm waiting on this one too, I opened a wiki which got spammed to hell so looking for something robust like this before I launch my next one. I get the sum question and the cats. Using 1.19

I have it working but only since I have set editing rights only to registered users. Works fine when registering as a user but I do want my wiki to be open to non user editing and was hoping I could use Asirra to stop spammers and enable anyone to edit.

I still get the sum question with no where to answer it alongside the cat pictures if I use this to check non registered users

Hopefully folks read this discussion before enabling this mode. I made a note on the main page warning folks of reported issues with IE and Asirra. It was rejected. Anyone expecting users to register with IE8/9 will find that they won't succeed, it's rather simple to check to see it fail, enabling this Asirra with this extention will block about 1/3 of your potential editor base. I'm not even sure where to file a bug for this extension, otherwise I would have already done so. If i new PHP a little better, perhaps I would offer up a fix.

I've accepted and modified your addition after I saw you specify specific IE versions here and the specific problem.
