EDIT - please read this if you are having problems.

We are aware that some users are experiencing problems with this, particularly where the pages seem to "auto refresh" onto themselves causing a attempt.

We are unable to replicate this. If you are able to replicate this, please follow the steps at http://tinyurl.com/torn-bugcapture and email the resulting video to alex@torn.com.

Cheers!

The validation system has received a substantial update. You may find it harder to see the numbers now, but with some practice you should be able to read 95% of the numbers that appear. You can also now simply hover over the speaker to hear the number.

If you struggle to read the number, don’t panic. Tomorrow, you have to fail 25+ times in a single day to be automatically jailed. Simply retry, or hover over the speaker to hear the number. There's really no way you can be jailed unless you are trying to abuse the system.

Edit - You now only need to verify every 1-2 hours

Thanks.

Was there a general outcry to have this updated? Just wondering why it was done.

I tried the speaker system, it got it wrong every time I tried (3-4).

Unless you've properly implemented it now and it works again, I'll try soon.

To stop botters, of course.

Took me a few attempts to get used to it

'What is this bunch of scribble'

*Hovers over voice confirmation*

'Ohhhhh....It's a four....'

Yeh, basically a little confusing

But meh, not like we have a choice in the matter, guess we'll need to get used to it

To help visually impaired people, and there's probably a better system behind it to help stop botters, or annoy them greatly.

^ This is also another problem as Torn also keep auto-refreshing pages, including validations as soon as they load - a lot of people will get jailed nearly every time they access the gym, crimes, dump etc.

The number(s) are now obnoxiously huge.

It's not a bad thing, it wasn't hard to see originally and is even easier to see now.

Cool, I suppose. It won't affect me.
