User Experience #2

Hi!

I have a lot of users complaining that the captcha is broken (they can't validate it) when in reality they are having problems with the interface not being forgiving enough.

The range of success is far too narrow. Many users drag past the end of the bar and let go, or let go not quite at the end of the bar, in both cases users thought they performed the actions correctly, and were punished with not being able to complete the form.

I've seen users try to slide more than 10 times without being able to figure out that they need to let go more precisely at the exact end.

It would substantially improve the usability and popularity of your captcha if you made the success zone larger and more forgiving, or at the very least allowed it to be customized in the options.

hey otthobot,

Unfortunately, I don't have the resources (time, mostly), to make this change...

Can you submit a Pull request with those changes?

I've kind of hacked a way around it.

I used inspect element to see what styles the code was generating and added my own CSS changes to the hit box to override the defaults and make it more forgiving...

.knob-destiny { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 1000px !important; height: 150px !important; margin-right: -960px !important; margin-top: -70px !important;
