Thanks for proving you don't know what a CAPTCHA is - or how to
design a secure web site.
In captcha you are required Type a series of letters or numbers that
have been altered to make them difficult to read Only when the are
correctly entered are you able to on continue on.
Yes, that is exactly what a CAPTCHA image is. What about the part where
you think it makes your members only secure from the public?
It's a Turing test [1]. Are you a human or a robot? Unfortunately,
CAPTCHA images have been cracked by bots. They are no longer secure.
No response to that?
They will not keep out the general public, so what made you think you
would have a private, members only section accessible only to the
members? If any human on the planet goes to your entry page they can
interpret the distorted image and gain access to your 'private'
information.
What happens if one of your members sends the link of the interior page
where your association members are listed? Will random access to that
page redirect them back to the 'login' page?
You *need* a username and password to keep - not only Google - but the
_general public_ out of your private pages. And each and every single
page inside the members-only section has to check and see if the
user is
logged in. Otherwise, it needs to send them to members/login.
You should tell your association that you don't understand or know how
to write a private web site.
[1. Did you have to look that up? ]
If I have to put in a User Name /password system will for that page.
What database are you using? Which server-side programming language?
PHP, ASP, PERL? You can't do it with just HTML.
Do you understand that it needs to include *all* pages in the members
only portion of the web site? (You didn't respond to the rest of the
issues...)
Current have the Skeleton pages setup as html. should be able to convert
them.
You know, Phillip, many of us are happy to help you but:
1. No URL
2. I can figure out from your last post what the heck you are saying
nor what you have actually done
