How to use the Recaptcha

I'll be using the review board add for this example, but what I'll be showing you applies anywhere recaptcha appears

The red bound box with the weird words. That is a typical recaptcha box, which is used commonly to prevent spamming by unlogged in users. It's a "prove you're human" utility.

For adding a review in the archive, or adding a story; the white area outlined is the text input box. This is where the user inputs the text they want to display.

The outlined icons are tools for the recaptcha utility.

Starting from the top:

refresh - this will regenerate the code displayed that the user inputs. Useful for when recaptcha puts up words that are difficult to see. Simply click until it gives you something you can work with to input.

sound/audio challenge - this generates a sound file to with a series of words to type in, instead of displaying the graphic to type in. This can be replayed.

help - this opens up a help screen about recaptcha

Once you have input the recaptcha text displayed, in to the box (where it says type the two words), click the review button. This adds your review. If adding a story, click "add story". IF you do not input the recaptcha data correctly, the data is not added. That goes for stories, reviews, or any other part where the user is required to use recaptcha. So please, be careful in your typing.
