Are You Human?

m46ah_30 · 1 May 2010, 08:32 PM

I want to make a small change in my user profile. I have opened the CP and edited the information but when I click "Save Changes" I get the following message:

Quote:

"You did not enter the correct format for the "Are you human?" Test #1 field. Please read the field description for the expected format."

I can't locate Test #1 field. I have no idea where to look now that I have looked everywhere I can think of.

A bit of direction would be appreciated.

What user profile are you referring to? Is this a Fastmail issue or do you mean a user profile on this or another forum? If you're referring to the Control Panel (CP) on this forum, you have posted this in the wrong place. This is for Fastmail.fm Help and current Issues, not EMD board related issues.

Thank you for replying. I apologize for being unclear. I was looking to edit my profile for these boards. I located what I was looking for; I did not expect it to be where I found it at the bottom of the "edit" page.

BTW, had I needed to move my posting and ask this question in the proper place, where would I have put it?

Hi. On the EMD.com (this) board, when I navigate to UserCP / Edit Profile, I see at the very bottom an 'Are You Human?' question. Presumably you mean this. I've tried a few times to replicate the error you're experiencing but cannot. I only see a #2 question, but not a #1. What exactly are you trying to change in your profile? It may help to work out why you're getting that error.

I'm sure a mod will take care of it.

Sounds like you have it solved.
And you're welcome

Please let us know the answer (in whatever format)

That question threw me, too, after I changed some things in my profile this past week. Hadn't used this version of the board in quite a while before then. The answer is...not "yes" or "no."

Dumb Q: Can bots actually go in and alter our profile?

I was given 2 test questions, each asking me to tell what a specific number letter of a given word was.

From the post previous to mine I assume that the question changes regularly.
