CFIMAGE distorting CAPTCHA images.

[AvantSG]

I am using CFIMAGE's ability to create CAPTCHA images to stop bot from hammering my forms. However, I am finding that the CAPTCHA images often times show distorted characters even on the LOW difficulty setting. I tried the DIV solutions changing the background color to all white behind the CAPTCHA but that didn't solve the problem.

Any own know how to fix this? I attached a sample. Notice the first character. It's supposed to be a Y. The problem here is that users aren't able to tell if the character is a real letter or just an element of the image.

Thanks for the help...

Also, I love the WYSIWYG editor adobe put in this forum. Anyone know if it's home grown or a third party add on and who developed it?

Here is another example... the attached image should say

DAKGJ

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi Fusecast,

The footer of this page says "Adobe Forums powered by Jive Software's Clearspace ® 2.5.7".

Nonetheless, if you are looking for CF Specific rich text editor, then refer the "cftextarea" tag.
