Hey, apparently the forums have a Bot question now, but theres a huge bug. Whenever i go to change my avatar it says my answer to the 2+2 Bot Question was wrong. Whats going on?

Easy. Answer the question. and just in case you didn't know, the answer is 4

Zing, but I doubt that's the problem. I've noticed it too when trying to change my avatar (right now my image source is some other website which changes avatars periodically)...but I think it's an inner VB bug

Just answer the security question and you should still be able to change your profile settings normally.

It may be annoying, but hey, its a small price to pay for the bot-foiling login system, right?

Just deal with it.

It can't be too much of a problem to do kindergarten math while filling out your information.

If you're smarter then a bot you'll have no problem answering the question to prove you're not a bot. It's a bit of an inconvenience but really you learned what "2+2" is back in first grade, so simply typing "4" into the box isn't that much of a problem.

Besides this is like you have to fill out a bunch of fields, it's just one and a single character goes in it. It's not a big deal.

The point he was trying to make was, if the answer to the question was always the same, bots can work around that.

But bot programmers usually never take the time to do that for individual mods like this, as I covered in another topic.
