I remember
that some weeks ago when captcha was activated for retyping the password
we discussed the problem in the german IRC and I remember that there was
at least one guy who could reproduce the problem. His way to solve the
problem was just by trying over and over again. Which is actually a bad
way. Anyway, the problem might not only be related to client or server
but
also to the combination of client and server (and possibly what is
inbetween).
Could it be that there is a mistake in the captchas? The picture and
text not being the same so when someone types in the captcha it tells
them they got it wrong. Trying again and again would give you a
different captcha each time until you eventually get one that is
correct, and you can then log on. I don't know if different languages
have different captchas, but if they do, that would explain why it
appears to be a german problem only.
Good point, however, as the captchas are in English I think they are not
specific for de.WP. Maybe somebody can correct me if I am wrong.
