Serendipity Forums

Hi,
I use serendipity_event_spamblock with strong captchas to get rid of comment spam. A few users told me, that they are not able to comment at all, while other users are able to comment.

In my log files I see blocked events like this:

reason
Captcha ungültig (Eingegeben: 2D0, Erwartet: )

Useragent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.963.56 Safari/535.11

It's always an empty captcha expected (and of course leaving the captcha empty doesn't work).

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

That usually means that the browser of a user rejected cookies. Without accepting cookies, the site cannot associate the exact generated captcha with the one the user enters on the next page.
